How Create IOS Desktop Shortcut for a Photo?

IOS Mavens,

Is there a way to create a shortcut to a specific photo (which is on the device, in a library, or photostream) and place the shortcut on IOS' desktop?

There are a couple of photos I refer to frequently in meetings. Searching for them disrupts the flow of the conversation. It'd be great if a shortcut to both of these images could be placed on the home screen, then opened with a single tap.

Your suggestions are welcomed!

Thanks!

I had that problem too and I just found a loop hole.

Now you know when you are on safari, you can add a website to the home screen. So what I did is, I uploaded the photo that I frequently need on my dropbox folder. I copied the link of that photo, pasted on the browser and add it to the home screen 😉 I know it is a long way but still it works for me.

What I've done is to copy the photo(s) into a new note in notes. That way you only need to make two selections. AND... it's offline. Hope this is of use.

No, there is no shortcut as such.

You can use Keynote app to get organized.

You could also place the two images in a album (in the Photo App). This would still require tapping to get to them, but would descrease the need to search.
