How to Add Bluedot's Start Recording Shortcut to Your iPhone

Add a quick Start Recording shortcut to your iPhone — as a Lock Screen widget, a Lock Screen control, or a Control Center control.

You can add a one-tap Bluedot shortcut to your iPhone so you can start recording without opening the app first. There are three ways to do it — pick whichever fits how you use your phone.

Add the Widget to Your Lock Screen

  1. Long-press your Lock Screen, tap Customize, then choose Lock Screen.

  2. Tap Add Widgets.

  3. Scroll the app list and select Bluedot.

  4. Tap or drag the Start Recording widget into the widget area.

  5. Tap Done to save.

Tap the Bluedot widget on your Lock Screen to open the app and start recording right away.

Add the Control to Your Lock Screen

  1. Long-press your Lock Screen, tap Customize, then choose Lock Screen.

  2. Tap the + button in the bottom corner. If the slot is already taken, tap on the existing control first.

  3. Scroll to Bluedot (or search "Bluedot") and tap Start Recording.

  4. Tap Done to save.

Press the Bluedot button on your Lock Screen to open the app and start recording.

Add the Control to Control Center

  1. Swipe down from the top-right corner to open Control Center.

  2. Tap + in the top-left corner (or long-press an empty area).

  3. Tap Add a Control at the bottom.

  4. Scroll to Bluedot (or search "Bluedot") and tap Start Recording.

  5. Drag the control to any spot, then tap an empty area to finish.

Tap the Bluedot button in Control Center to open the app and start recording.
