Q: Can I create an icon on my iPhone 6s to start iTune sync

I would like to create an icon on my iPhone home page to start syncing my iPhone to iTunes without having to go to Setting > General > Scrolling Down to almost the bottom of the page > iTunes Wi-Fi Sync > Sync Now. I would like to be able to press "Sync Now" from my home page. I keep a lot of music in sync between my iPhone and Apple TV so some days I may sync several times. It would be just a bit easier to not have work my way down the menus of Settings. Any ideas?

    I am not aware of any method to do that

    One thing you can do is on the iTunes Summary page - scroll down and enable WiFi sync

    That way when your phone and computer are on the same network and in vicinity - if iTunes is running on the computer the phone will connect

    Then all you have to do is hit the sync button

    Done from the computer rather than phone but essentially one - two clicks

    I concur with ManSinha...there is no way to accomplish that.

    Sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iTunes using Wi-Fi - Apple Support

    Thanks ManSinha - I'm pretty sure there is no way to accomplish what I want to do but I do want to ask just in case someone does know a way. I already do use Wi-Fi Sync and my phone generally syncs once a day or so on it's own but I often need it to sync more frequently than the "automatic" system performs a sync. Thanks for your fast reply.
