Love all your apps!
I discovered through Aiko and I just love your apps. They’re simple and do what they’re supposed to do. I would like to suggest if you can add a smaller size for this widget. As the size of an app icon so I could add several contacts on my Home Screen.
You can also open a URL or run a shortcut instead when tapping the widget. This opens up a lot of cool possibilities. Here are some ideas of what you could open.

The widget does not show up in the widget picker
This is a well-known iOS issue. See how to fix a widget that does not show up.
The Lock Screen widget sometimes disappears
Make sure Lock Screen widgets are allowed when locked: “Settings › Face ID & Passcode › Allow Access When Locked › Lock Screen Widgets”. If it’s “off”, iOS may hide the widget until you unlock.
Can I call someone by just tapping the widget without the confirmation dialog?
Yes. Enable the “Quick Call” setting in the app.
Can the Lock Screen photos be full-colored?
This is unfortunately not possible. iOS enforces that Lock Screen widgets are single-colored.
Can you support more actions when tapping a widget?
Sure. I’m happy to consider requests. Send it here.
When using the “Run Shortcut” action, why does tapping the widget first open the main app and then the Shortcuts app?
This is because of iOS limitations. A widget can only open its own app when a user taps it. And the only way to run a shortcut is to open the Shortcuts app using a special URL. So when you tap the widget, the widget opens the main app, and the main app then opens the Shortcuts app. It’s not a very good user experience, but only Apple can fix this.
