I don't see an option to enter that info on StreetComplete or EveryDoor, and it would be hard to open your laptop every time

This was specific to a university campus, to try and map out the amenities available to the public / to students

I just put this into my search bar "!wosm shower" it directly searches the osm wiki for for shower. With the help of the bang "!" https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dshower

!wosm water fountain yields https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?search=water%20fountain

You can add it easily in osmand

That search shortcut works only if you have DuckDuckGo as your search engine, though.
