Hands-free setup

Analyze any offer with one tap.

Put a small floating button on your iPhone that runs OfferIQ right on top of Uber, Lyft or DoorDash. Single-tap to grade the offer in front of you; long-press to mark the one you accepted. No app switching, no fumbling — and it works the same on iOS 26 and iOS 27.

First

Add the two shortcuts

The button can only run shortcuts that are already in your Shortcuts app. If you set OfferIQ up in the app you likely have these — otherwise add them here (iPhone only).

The 2-minute setup

One button, both shortcuts

The simplest setup: assign each shortcut to a gesture on a single AssistiveTouch button.

  1. 1
    Turn on AssistiveTouch

    Open Settings › Accessibility › Touch › AssistiveTouch and switch it on. A small round button appears on the screen — drag it to a corner where it won’t cover an offer.

  2. 2
    Find “Custom Actions”

    Stay on that same AssistiveTouch screen and scroll down to Custom Actions. You’ll see three rows: Single-Tap, Double-Tap and Long Press.

  3. 3
    Single-Tap → Analyze Offer

    Tap Single-Tap, scroll to the very bottom of the list where your own shortcuts live, and choose Analyze Offer. A checkmark confirms it, then tap back.

  4. 4
    Long Press → Mark Last Offer Accepted

    Back under Custom Actions, tap Long Press (or Double-Tap) and choose Mark Last Offer Accepted the same way.

  5. 5
    That’s it — now drive

    When an offer appears in Uber, Lyft or DoorDash, single-tap the button to grade it. After you accept a ride, long-press to mark it. Each shortcut runs right over the gig app and drops you straight back.

Which gesture for which? Give Analyze Offer the Single-Tap — it’s the one you use on every offer, so you want it instant. Long Press suits the occasional Mark Last Offer Accepted because it’s hard to trigger by accident. Custom Actions even has timing sliders if you want to tune the double-tap or long-press feel later.

Prefer labels?

Or put both in the button’s menu

If you’d rather tap a menu and pick a shortcut by name, add them to the AssistiveTouch menu instead.

  1. 1
    Open the menu editor

    On the AssistiveTouch screen, tap Customize Top Level Menu (UK/Australia: “Customise”). You’ll see the current menu icons in a grid.

  2. 2
    Add a slot

    Tap the + below the grid to add a blank slot — the menu holds up to 8 icons. Or reuse an icon you don’t need.

  3. 3
    Assign Analyze Offer

    Tap the slot, scroll to your shortcuts at the bottom, choose Analyze Offer, then tap the blue tick in the top-right to save.

  4. 4
    Assign Mark Last Offer Accepted

    Add or tap another slot and repeat for Mark Last Offer Accepted.

  5. 5
    Use it

    Tap the floating button to open the menu, then tap the shortcut by name. One extra tap than the gesture setup, but both actions are clearly labelled.

What to expect the first time

  • Adding a shortcut shows a one-time review screen with a red Add Shortcut button. That’s the install — it happens once per shortcut.
  • The first run may ask for permission. Tap Always Allow so it never asks again.
  • Every run after that is silent: a small bar flashes at the top while the shortcut works, then you’re back in the gig app you started from.
No button, or an easier one

Three more ways to trigger a shortcut

AssistiveTouch is the most universal, but your iPhone has other one-tap options too.

Back Tap

No on-screen button — tap the back of the phone. Settings › Accessibility › Touch › Back Tap, then set Double Tap = Analyze Offer and Triple Tap = Mark Last Offer Accepted. Works on iPhone 8 and later.

Heads-up: a rigid car mount can absorb the taps — test it in your mount.

Action Button

iPhone 15 Pro and later. Settings › Action Button, swipe to ShortcutChoose a Shortcut. Rock-solid and eyes-free — but it holds only one shortcut.

Pair it with AssistiveTouch or Back Tap for Mark Last Offer Accepted.

“Hey Siri”

Fully hands-free — just say “Hey Siri, Analyze Offer”. The shortcut’s own name is the trigger phrase, so nothing else to set up.

A great backup; road noise can make it less reliable at speed.

Setup questions

Does this work on iOS 26 and iOS 27?

Yes. The steps are identical on iOS 26 and unchanged from earlier versions of iOS — the Settings path, the AssistiveTouch toggle, the Custom Actions rows, and shortcut assignment are all the same. iOS 26’s new “Liquid Glass” look is purely cosmetic; the labels don’t change. iOS 27 hasn’t shipped yet, and Apple has announced no changes to AssistiveTouch, so the same steps are expected to carry straight over.

The “Custom Actions” section isn’t on the AssistiveTouch screen — where is it?

Turn the AssistiveTouch toggle at the top ON first, then scroll down. Custom Actions (Single-Tap, Double-Tap, Long Press) sits lower on the same screen, below the toggle and below Customize Top Level Menu.

My OfferIQ shortcuts aren’t in the action list.

The shortcut has to already be in the Shortcuts app. Add Analyze Offer and Mark Last Offer Accepted first (tap their install links above and choose Add Shortcut), and they’ll appear by name at the very bottom of the action list — Apple’s built-in actions are listed first, so keep scrolling.

Which gesture should I use for which shortcut?

Put Analyze Offer on Single-Tap because you use it on every offer and want it instant. Put the occasional Mark Last Offer Accepted on Long Press — it’s almost impossible to trigger by accident. Double-Tap is a touch faster but easier to fire unintentionally.

Will running a shortcut kick me out of Uber, Lyft or DoorDash?

No. Launched from the button, a shortcut runs as a quick overlay on top of whatever app you’re in and returns you to it when it finishes. A small bar shows briefly at the top of the screen while it runs — you don’t get dumped into the Shortcuts app.

The first time I tap it, iOS asks for permission.

That’s normal, and it happens once. The first time a shortcut actually runs, iOS may show a prompt with Allow Once / Always Allow / Don’t Allow. Tap Always Allow so it never asks again. After that the button just works silently.

Can I hide the floating button when I’m not driving?

Yes. Go to Settings › Accessibility › Accessibility Shortcut and tap AssistiveTouch, then triple-click the side button (or the Home button on Touch ID iPhones) to show or hide it whenever you like.

A shortcut seemed to hang and didn’t come back.

If a shortcut ever looks stuck behind the bar at the top of the screen, tap the centre of that bar to dismiss it. Keeping the shortcuts simple — no pop-ups or questions mid-run — gives the smoothest tap-and-return experience.

The whole point: decide before you drive

OfferIQ reads the offer from a screenshot, grades it A–D against your own rates in seconds, and even speaks the numbers aloud. The button just makes it one tap away.
