Create a One‑Tap iPhone Shortcut to Open Your Health Code Instantly
This guide shows how to set up an iPhone shortcut that instantly displays your health code with a single tap, detailing each step from adding the code to the home screen to configuring a trigger in the Accessibility settings.
Because of pandemic restrictions, many places require you to show a health code, and opening it manually can be time‑consuming.
First, locate your health code in the app and tap the three dots in the top‑right corner.
From the options that appear, choose Add to Home Screen .
On the next page, tap the red‑framed button and select Copy .
Open the Shortcuts app and tap Create Shortcut .
In the search bar, type Text and select the Text action.
Paste the previously copied health‑code URL into the text field.
Search again and add the Match Text action, setting the pattern to \d{16} .
Next, add the URL action and paste the same health‑code link.
Finish the shortcut by giving it a simple name and tapping Done.
Open Settings → Accessibility → Touch and choose a trigger method, such as double‑tapping the back tap or the small dot.
Select the shortcut you just created as the action for the chosen trigger.
Now, a double‑tap on the selected area will instantly open your health code, saving you time compared to navigating through the app manually.
