Shortcut Information
I use this to jump into articles I’ve saved without having to tap on Safari and find the Reading List icon before activating it – I find this single shortcut makes Reading List way more useful.
Plus, when used from the Share sheet or run with a link on the clipboard, this shortcut will also add it to your Reading List.
