For the life of me I can’t find an answer to this:

Can you make an Apple Arcade widget or shortcut onto the Home Screen rather than having to hit App Store and then the Arcade button?

Would like to create one on the iPad when my kids want to play and can search Arcade for a game which I would download for them to try.


(Edited to fix from ITunes to App Store).

It would be nice to have an Arcade widget, but I don't think it's currently possible. At least it's only two taps to open the App Store (not iTunes) app, and then Arcade.

Use this short cut - as long as your screentime settings restrict app age settings you’re good to go
