shortcut for sysdiagnose

We know, it is frustrating clicking on Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements > Analytics Data and then searching for the sysdiagnose files to submit them. Unfortunately there is no way for any iOS app to directly access them without the user taking these steps. If an app does not request you to make such steps it means there is no way it can access the data required to provide any real security scanning.

We do have a solution to make it easier though, a shortcut that when triggered takes you directly to the Analytics Data page when initiated. We use an accessibility shortcut to trigger it when double tapping the back of our iPhones but you can also trigger it however you want using the Shortcuts app. If you click on the link below on an iOS device you should be asked if you wish to add the shortcut to your phone.

After it is installed, you can trigger it by following the instructions at the link below or adding it to your Siri shortcuts "Hey Siri, access sysdiagnose".

Once the shortcut takes you to the Analytics Data page, swipe down to reveal the search bar and search for "sys" (without the quotation marks) which will show you all of the sysdiagnose files. Scroll to the bottom to find the most recent one. Now starting the submission process takes mere seconds!
