I just found out by accident how to add a shortcut to quickly create an Object on Android!
Add Anytype to your home screen
Tap and hold the icon
Tap and hold the “Create a new Note” item
Drag it onto the home screen
If you tap the new icon, Anytype will open and create a new Object immediately, allowing you to type away, right away!
good find!!
I guess next steps would be to customise the default object type
Whoa, TIL we can do that on Android in general!
Hopefully as Anytype gets more feature-rich this can be more useful.
…and I guess it’d be nice if we can set the default place for the notes created by the widget (e.g. in a specific Collection) 
Right, some collection like “Inbox”.
This IS helpful.
I would argue that 2 additional (or perhaps better, maybe depending on the user) methods for Android would be:
Does anybody know if it is possible to do this on iOS too?
It doesn’t work for me anymore. Has there been a regression, a bug or is it just me?
iOS has something more cool: an icon you can place on your lock screen that creates a new object of your default type in the last used space.
You know, this is one of those golden features that justify having a permanent reference or an introduction Page in AnyType, where one can go through the features at any point and try it to learn something new about the software and the functionality.
Did this go away? I just installed AnyType on my android phone, and am not getting the option of adding this as a widget or shortcut. I am using the Niagara Launcher if that changes anything.
I think the trick is that you need to select a space first. If you open AnyType and you see the “My Channels” page, you will not get options when long pressing from your app launcher. If you select a space first, then go back and long press on the icon, you will see the default “New Task, New Notes, New Page”. Unfortunately, these shortcuts follow the last Channel/Space you had open. This means if you have more than one space the quick action may create a page in an unintended space (like the AnyType Community space 
). I believe it has been discussed elsewhere, but ideally you could set the default space these shortcuts point to.
Got it to work, thank you!
It took me a while to find ANY reference about this feature I just discovered. And the question remained, until @the0duke0 comment: the New Task / Note / Page goes to the las opened channel / space.
Please, let us
