Hello guys,
I'm trying to show logged in user information, like email or phone number.

I know I can show any post author data with [types usermeta='field-i-need' user_is_author='true'][/types]

Is there a similar shortcode to display logged-in user data?

Best regards
Thanks a lot !

Hello,

If it is custom user field created with Toolset Types plugin, you can use [types] shortcode with user_current="true" attribute, for example:
[types usermeta='field-i-need' user_current='true'][/types]
https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/functions/
user_current:
"true" - output user field for the logged in user

If it is other user field, please try [wpv-user] shortcode, for example:
[wpv-user field="user_email"]
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views-shortcodes/#wpv-user
it will display information for the current logged-in user
