# Displaying Shortcut Information in a Siri Watch Face Card Display and customize watch-specific shortcut information with a default card template. ## Discussion The Siri watch face displays a relevant shortcut in a card that can provide the following information: - App icon and name (supplied by the system) - Title, subtitle, and custom image (supplied by the intent or user activity used to create the shortcut, or by an [`INDefaultCardTemplate`](/documentation/Intents/INDefaultCardTemplate) object) > Important: The Siri Watch Face is available in watchOS 11 and earlier. To make content available in the Smart Stack on Apple Watch using widgets, refer to , , and . For more information about migrating your SiriKit code to App Intents, refer to and . ### Display Intent-Based Shortcuts When your app uses an [`INIntent`](/documentation/Intents/INIntent) object to create the shortcut, the system retrieves the intent’s title and subtitle from the intent settings defined in the intent definition file. To include an image, call [`setImage:forParameterNamed:`](/documentation/Intents/INIntent/setImage:forParameterNamed:) on the intent and pass in an [`INImage`](/documentation/Intents/INImage). The listing below sets the image for a order soup intent in the Soup Chef sample app. ```swift orderSoupIntent.setImage(INImage(named: menuItem.iconImageName), forParameterNamed: \OrderSoupIntent.soup) ``` ### Display User Activity-Based Shortcuts When your app uses an object to create the shortcut, the system retrieves the title from the title property of the user activity. To specify a subtitle, create an with the content type of `kUTTypeItem`, and set the property. To include an image, set the on the attribute set. The listing below sets the title, subtitle, and image for the NSUserActivity object. ```swift import CoreSpotlight import MobileCoreServices let userActivity = NSUserActivity(activityType: "com.myapp.myactivity") userActivity.title = "Title" let attributes = CSSearchableItemAttributeSet(itemContentType: kUTTypeItem as String) attributes.contentDescription = "Subtitle" attributes.thumbnailData = imageLiteral(resourceName: "custom-image").pngData() userActivity.contentAttributeSet = attributes ``` ### Use Card Templates If you want to show a UI specific to the watch—for example, to display a shortcut’s title that is shorter than the one Siri displays on the user’s iPhone or iPad—provide the relevant shortcut a default card template by setting the [`watchTemplate`](/documentation/Intents/INRelevantShortcut/watchTemplate) property. The template allows your app to customize the [`title`](/documentation/Intents/INDefaultCardTemplate/title), [`subtitle`](/documentation/Intents/INDefaultCardTemplate/subtitle), and [`image`](/documentation/Intents/INDefaultCardTemplate/image). (You cannot change or remove the app icon and name shown in the card.) The listing below sets the template for an order intent in the Soup Chef sample app. ```swift let order = Order(quantity: 1, menuItem: menuItem, menuItemOptions: []) let orderIntent = order.intent guard let shortcut = INShortcut(intent: orderIntent) else { return nil } let suggestedShortcut = INRelevantShortcut(shortcut: shortcut) let localizedTitle = NSString.deferredLocalizedIntentsString(with: "ORDER_LUNCH_TITLE") as String let template = INDefaultCardTemplate(title: localizedTitle) template.subtitle = NSString.deferredLocalizedIntentsString(with: menuItem.shortcutNameKey + "_SUBTITLE") as String template.image = INImage(named: menuItem.iconImageName) suggestedShortcut.watchTemplate = template ``` The code above creates the Siri watch face card shown in the figure below. To download the complete sample code, see .  The system displays the information in one of four layouts based on the information your app provides in the card template. For instance, if you don’t provide an image, the system uses a layout that displays only the title and subtitle fields. And if you provide only the title, the system uses a layout that can wrap the title on two lines.  ## See Also --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
