How do I use Wishes with Siri and widgets?

Updated October 17, 2026

These work on iPhone.

Siri

Say "Add a wish in Wishes" and tell Siri what you'd love. Siri adds it without opening the app. To open one of your wishlists, say "Show my Christmas wishlist in Wishes", with its name in place of Christmas.

The same actions are in the Shortcuts app, so you can add them to a shortcut of your own.

Spotlight

Swipe down on your Home Screen and search for a wish or a wishlist by name. Tap the result to open it in Wishes.

Widget

  1. Touch and hold an empty spot on your Home Screen and tap Edit, then Add Widget.
  2. Search for Wishes and choose the small or medium Wishlist widget.
  3. Touch and hold the widget, tap Edit Widget and choose your wishlist.

The widget shows your wishlist in its theme colors, with its newest wishes. The medium size has a button to add a new wish.
