Shortcut specific: How to add my own contact to sharesheet

I frequently wish to share my current page with myself for future reference, but my own contact never appears on my sharesheet.

I have to select the green *message* icon, search for my own name, select, and then press the message send button.


I have previously managed to create a shortcut with my own name that, when selected, automatically opened messages to myself. All I had to do was click the send button.


Unfortunately this shortcut ceased to function and I cannot edit that shortcut to work as it previously worked, or figure out what to do to create a duplicate.


Please could anyone help here?


I wish to click the usual *share* button situated in the middle of options, scroll past the Siri recommended contacts, scroll past the Siri recommended apps, and underneath (first on sharesheet) see a clickable ‘Emma’ that directly opens my own contact in Messages, fills whatever I wanted to share and shows the usual send message arrow.

Help, but be specific.

I am autistic and very technically minded, but this has shamefully stumped me!

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 18

I've put together a shortcut that should take care of that for you. It should ask you for your contact info to send the page URL to upon addition to your shortcut library- if not, simply open the shortcut and select the 'Recipients' field in the last step, then choose your contact.
