A guide to using iPhone with screenshots

Quick Actions are application shortcuts that let you quickly access the menu of the app. They can be used in simple ways: Press hard on an app icon on the Home screen to bring up a list of shortcuts. Then, just tap your desired item. Or after displaying the shortcuts, without lifting your finger off the screen, move it to the desired item and release it to select the function.

Quick Actions can streamline and speed up the process of calling up a function, which required more steps to access it in the past.

Not all built-in apps on the iPhone are supported by Quick Actions. Also, even though you hold your finger down on a supported app, if the app has no shortcut data to display, you will see nothing appear on the screen.
