Set up shortcuts for the mobile app

Learn how to set up shortcuts for the SafetyCulture mobile app on Android for quicker access to key actions.

Why use mobile app shortcuts on Android?

Shortcuts add quick links to SafetyCulture on your Android home screen. Use them to open key pages in fewer taps. This makes it easier to fit SafetyCulture into fast-paced, mobile workflows, starting inspections, checking notifications, or creating actions while out in the field.

Touch and hold the SafetyCulture app to access the shortcuts you've added via the Android mobile app.

The shortcuts feature is currently only available to the Android mobile app. If you'd like to see the same feature for the iOS mobile app, please let us know by providing your feedback.
