Adding a shortcut to Control Center (iOS 14, iPhone 11)

How can I add a custom shortcut I created, to the Control Center?


For instance, iOS 14 has a bug that putting on AirPods Pro doesn’t automatically switch the output to the headphones (i.e. while watching a YouTube video), and so I have to do it manually with so many steps. To mitigate this regression from 13.7, I’ve a shortcut which switches to AirPods Pro and I’d like to add it to Control Center so I can switch using a swipe + a tap.

iPhone 11, iOS 14

Hello Mario49,


Unfortunately this article doesn’t help at all, because ... I want to add a shortcut, which I created, to Control Center. (The shortcut in question just re-routes all output to AirPods Pro, just by tapping on it. I’ve added it to my home screen but it is impossible to add it to Control Center.)


This is currently not possible.


Could the iOS team make it happen for 14.1?
