Is there a way to add an icon to an iPhone X's homescreen that would make it simple for my aging mother to directly contact me using video chat, either using WhatsApp or Skype (or something else)? Preferably with just one or two clicks?
Got a tip for us?

Do you have an iPhone also? Making a FaceTime contact on the homescreen is easy.
Turn Your Contacts into Apps on Your iPhone's Home Screen
When iOS 14 was released, the "Favorites" widget, which provided quick access to your most-used contacts, was nowhere to be seen. There's a workaround that brings it back via the Shortcuts app, but the original Favorites widget was better all around. For those of you looking for something...

You should be able to do that using Shortcuts.
I'm afraid not, though I have one for testing web apps, so I suppose I could just for her ... prefer not to get locked into the Apple garden though.
