Shortcuts in iMazing

• App Shortcuts
• Folder Shortcuts

App Shortcuts

The last button in the Data section is the New Shortcut button. It opens a wizard which lets you pick an application you would like to create a shortcut to - making it convenient to keep apps like VLC and Documents just a click away! Shortcuts you create appear in both the Data and Overview sections, as shown with Documents and VLC in the screenshots below:

1. Click the New Shortcut button.

   💡Tip: If you don't see your shortcuts or the New Shortcut button, ensure you've selected a connected device and not a backup. Shortcuts are only available for devices.

2. Select an App and click Create Shortcut.

   💡Tip: If you don't see the app you want to create a shortcut for, it means this app doesn't support File Sharing. Contact the app developer to request they add the required configuration to make its Documents folder available to iMazing.

3. App Shortcuts are displayed in the Overview and Data sections.

Folder Shortcuts

For advanced users, iMazing also offers shortcuts to specific locations in a device's file system. These can point to a sub-folder within an application's Documents folder or to a specific location in the device's Media folder.

You can add this type of shortcut through the File System view:

1. Select a device and go to the File System view available from the Data section.
2. Select the folder of your choice, and click New Shortcut in the bottom toolbar.
3. Enter a name for your shortcut, and click OK.
4. Your shortcut will now appear in the Data and Overview sections.
