# Save MobileGestalt | Shortcuts Library

> Save your MobileGestalt file on the newest iOS versions.

## What this shortcut does

This shortcut saves a copy of your
MobileGestalt
file (
com.apple.MobileGestalt.plist
)
⚠️ Since iOS 26.3 a-Shell mini is required
What is the MobileGestalt file?
MobileGestalt
is a
Property List (plist)
file used by iOS as a central repository of device information.
It includes details about hardware, supported features, region-specific settings, and other internal configurations.
iOS services query MobileGestalt to determine capabilities like:
Dynamic Island
Window apps
Apple Intelegence
and many other gated features
What can this be used for?
Misaka26
Nugget
MobileGestaltComparator
Supported iOS versions
Save MobileGestalt has been tested from iOS 18.5 to iOS 26.3. It will probably work on lower iOS versions.
Apple has fixed the manual method, so for iOS 26.3+ you'll need a-Shell mini (look in the Appstore).

I get an incorrect file outputted
Please leave feedback what the wrong file contained and try the other method.
The shortcut always just errors
Please leave the error message and the action that caused the error as feedback and suggest a solution if you want.
I can't find the file
The shortcut should open a share menu. Where you can click save to files or send it directly to your pc. (See below on how to do that)
How do I transfer the file to my pc?
If you have a Mac just use airdrop and for all other devices I recommend LocalSend.
