Placing an auto-dial icon on the iphone front screen ?

My sister with memory issues is having trouble navigating to phone her kids. Is there a way to place an icon on her iphone front/"home" screen which would call her daughter when she presses it ?


iPhone XR, iOS 15

You can do this with the Shortcuts app that comes on the phone.


This is the short version; if you aren’t familiar with the Shortcuts app here’s a tutorial→Shortcuts User Guide - Apple Support


UPDATE: Ferd II has posted a 3rd party tutorial that is very good.
