Step 1 — Copy the Roblox experience link
Make sure you grab the full Roblox experience URL from your browser. It should look like https://www.roblox.com/games/PLACEID/Game-Name. Keep the numeric place ID; we use it to build the deep link that the Roblox app understands.
- On desktop, copy the link from the address bar while viewing the game page.
- On mobile Safari, tap the address bar, long press, and copy the full URL.
- If the link includes tracking parameters (such as
?refPageId=), leave them off for a cleaner shortcut.
Step 2 — Generate your shortcut with Echo Code
Open the Roblox iOS Shortcut Maker on this site. Paste your URL into the field and tap Generate Shortcut. The tool returns a preview and a shareable shortcut page hosted on Echo Code.
Each generated shortcut includes a ready-to-use deep link and metadata tailored for the Roblox app, so you don't have to assemble the automation yourself.
We optimize the output for iOS 26 so the deep link behaves consistently on iPad and across the iPhone 17 lineup, including the Pro and Plus models.
Step 3 — Add the shortcut to your iOS Home Screen
- Open the generated shortcut page in Safari on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap the Share button, then choose Add to Home Screen.
- Rename the icon to something short (e.g., “Doors” or “Obby Squad”).
- Tap Add. Your new icon appears on the Home Screen and launches Roblox straight into that experience.
If you’d like a more customized icon, you can edit the shortcut within the Shortcuts app after adding it. Swap the glyph or import your own PNG.
Advanced tips
- Organize by folder: Group multiple Roblox game icons into a dedicated folder for fast access.
- Share with friends: Use the share sheet on the shortcut page to AirDrop or message it to your squad.
- Combine with automation: In the Shortcuts app, add actions like enabling Do Not Disturb or launching Spotify before Roblox opens.
- Android option: Prefer Android? Game Shortcut for Roblox creates launch icons automatically with per-game artwork.
Troubleshooting checklist
- Shortcut opens Safari instead of Roblox: Double-check that the Roblox app is installed and you copied the full experience path.
- Icon shows a generic globe: Edit the shortcut in the Shortcuts app and choose a new glyph or import your own icon image.
- Nothing happens when tapping the icon: Sign in to Roblox first, then relaunch the shortcut so the deep link can resume the session.
- Shared shortcut won’t install: Ask the recipient to open the link in Safari (not Chrome) and tap Get Shortcut from the Shortcuts app.
FAQ
Does the shortcut work after Roblox updates?
Yes. Roblox maintains deep link compatibility across updates. If a game changes its place ID, generate a fresh shortcut and replace the old icon.
Can I create multiple shortcuts?
Absolutely. Repeat the steps for each Roblox experience you want to surface. There's no limit in the Shortcuts app.
Is this safe for my Roblox account?
The shortcut uses official Roblox deep links and never asks for your login details. You sign in through the Roblox app as usual.
