Can I add a contact to the desktop of my iPhone 4s

Sometimes I'm in a hurry and need to reach a contact fast. Siri is sometimes slow and often just doesn't work for me. If I could add the contact to the desktop?..opening screen? whatever it's called, It would be much faster.
Thanks,
Paul

Put the contact in the Favorites page in the phone. That way it is only a couple of clicks. I am not aware of there being a way to do this on the iPhone.

  • I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago avaiable.  Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore which i assume will literally delete any new contacts added...?

    I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I recently sold my macbook air and also my mac book pro, so have no recent backups avaiable.  I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago available on an external hdd as a time machine backup.  Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore?  The reason i wish to do this is because in the update i didnt lose any messages, so all of the people i have met and networked with since that last update those many months ago, i have in my messages listings.  They are all unidentified numbers at present but over time i will be able to work through the messages and based on the conversation recall who each was with.  Also, yesterday, some two weeks after the update had left my contacts list entirely empty... a vast majority just reappeard, though all of them are without any phone numbers, all just emails or facebook contacts.  This is the work of facebook not mac/ios6 isnt it...?  Any help here would be greatly apprecaited.  I am about 2 days from flying to canada and having those contacts would make life a lot easier.

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

  • How can I add a contact to a group on my iPhone?

    How do I add a contact to an existing group on my iPhone?

    Should not be a problem. If you have set up your
    groups in Address Book, they will sync over to your
    iPhone. If you view All Contacts, you should have a
    tab in the upper left corner which shows Groups. You
    hit that, it takes you back to your Group List. Pick
    the Group you want to view and this takes you to a
    list of contacts within that group. Then in the
    upper right corner hit the + key and add your
    contact. When you sync back up, your contact should
    appear in your Address Book under all Contacts and
    under the assigned group.
    Hope this helps.

    This only solves half the problem. If you have created a NEW contact from a Google Map lookup, you cannot assign it to a group on the iPhone. You have to wait until you sync back up with Address Book, assign that contact to a group, then sync again. I have pulled a lot of new contacts through the Google Map function (which is amazing BTW) but I have yet to find a way to assign the new contact to a group. Any ideas?

  • Can not add new contact to the phone, screen gives no place to type in name

    In the past had no issued adding a new contact to iPhone 5s, now when that screen is opened there is no possibility to type names phone number etc.
    How do I fix this?

        Let's get your contacts updated, Scoop29! May I ask what software version are you running? Check through Settings>General>About. Are you given any " " or Edit option for existing contacts? I am eager to get to the bottom of this!
    Thank you,

    How can I add a word to the dictionary on my iPhone 6 plus?
    Thanks.

    There's not an option to add a word to the dictionary. However, after typing that word several times, it will start to recognize it and offer it as a suggested word.

  • HT201401 I can't add a contact or edit contacts the little + sign is no longer on my phone...same thing on my iCalendar.  I can no longer add events or dates.  how do I fix this?

    I can't add a contact or edit contacts the little + sign is no longer on my phone...same thing on my iCalendar.  I can no longer add events or dates.  how do I fix this?

    Reset your phone, hold the home and off button down until the apple symbol comes up. If that doesnt fix it then you need to restore your phone in itunes, Connect to itunes, right click on your phones name to the left, then click restore from backup. That providing you have backed up your phone recently.

    thank you in advance.

    Your suggestion worked perfectly.  I can't believe there is nothing in any of the instructions I have seen online at the Yahoo and Apple help sites about the making sure the right default account is checked.  I don't think I was even aware there was a "default account" setting.  Thank you so much.

  • How do I add a contact from the same company to my address book?

    How do I add a contact from the same company to my address book? I do not want to re-type all of the information. Thanks for your help.

    Any card in your address book can be duplicated. Select the card within the Name column, and use the Edit > Copy menu item followed by the Edit > Paste menu item. Then you can update the card copy and only change the name/email/phone fields as needed.

  • How can I add multiple contacts to a text message on a droid bionic

    How can I add multiple contacts to a text message on a droid bionic?

    DH
    I was thinking that if he wanted to create multiple keyframes he might be creating a repeated effect rather than manipulating values that are shot specific - like creating an oscillation or some repeated step effect.  If he was creating keyframes specific to his content he'd probably not look for a way to do it "quickly" since each keyframe would require manipulation of specific values. 
    So my thought was to generate the series of keyframes on a dummy clip created for this specific purpose, copy the clip, paste attributes (maybe turn off "Scale Attribute Times") and add bunches of keyframes at once. 
    Still, you're right, it's tough to divine the intent of someone very new to FCP.  His question could be based on a misunderstanding about the use of keyframes.
