iPhone 15 Pro Action Button

[iFone88]

What have you mapped yours to?

I feel like I need some inspiration as I want to use it for something other than a mute switch!

Orientation mode lock for now. I keep it locked most of the time, but need to unlock it to watch videos usually.

If I understood shortcuts better, I would make it send the Yes Chef gif from The Bear to my wife every time I press the button. Would save me a ton of time.

Mute switch lol.

I sent mine to turn on of off the always on display via the shortcuts app.

Camera for me. It is the feature I wanted most. I've lost so many moments fiddling to get the camera app up, set the mode, and click the shutter.

I have it set for do not disturb switch. It will save me so much time. As I use this switch so much during the day.

Same here.

Silent mode for now, waiting for hopefully getting a long press short press option.


How do you guys silent mode if you pick something else for the action button.

It’s ALWAYS in silent mode.

Google Assistant, so much better than Siri

I like the concept although I am not sure how often I will use it on a daily basis. I would be more inclined if it had dual action ability with 1 press followed by 2 quick presses.

I would definitely put flashlight on double click. It seems useful but not useful enough to be my single bound action on the whole device.

Mine opens ChatGPT

Camera for now. Will play with shortcuts.

Some possible shortcut ideas
- launch 3rd party camera
- switch focus mode and adjust HomeKit scene
- launch music or a playlist
- launch a new Note
- launch google assistant

This.
It's absolutely potatoes that the action button only does one singular thing.

 

[LIVEFRMNYC]

I'll be switching between Camera and flashlight. But Camera the majority of the time. I will also experiment with shortcuts.

Mine is silent 24/7. I’m happy to free that button for something else. Before this, I usually touch it once when I get the phone, and that’s it.

I have my action button set to flashlight for now.

I couldn’t decide so I made a shortcut menu that will let me choose what I wanna run with a menu:

 

[DDustiNN]

Mute.

Camera is on the Lock Screen and Home Screen so I don’t feel the need to dedicate a button to it. Plus I switch my phone on and off silent mode pretty often, so I like the physical switch rather than using the control center.

 

[xboxphanatic]

I set mine up as a switch to turn on and off the lamp in my bedroom with a Siri shortcut. I don’t think I’ll leave it as that, but it is something fun for the moment.

Message my family.

How do set it for message? I don’t see the option

 

[techiegirl]

How do set it for message? I don’t see the option

It’s a shortcut I have. I just set the action button to shortcut and select my shortcut “message family.”
