The link is not working.
P.S. You can add more orientations (like face down or face up) for additional functions, but for me, two functions is ideal. It's neither overly basic, nor overly complicated.
FYI, double pressing the power button on the right brings up your wallet. It brings it up ready to pay but you can also tap on the cards to then bring up any card.Wallet
Cool. But most people that change their mute during the day do so for a whole host of situations like being in a meeting, at a movie, taking a nap, etc.Something that always surprises me that not more people are talking about this: ever since the removal of the physical mute switch, you can use the Shortcuts app to mute and unmute the phone automatically! No reason to ‘waste’ the Action button as a mute switch. I created an automation that automatically mutes my iPhone (and my Apple Watch) when I leave my home, and unmutes them when I return.
Who are these people toggling silent mode all the time? Like you, I am in silent mode 100% of the time because I’m not an annoying boomer
Isn’t the new Camera Control button capacitive? Does it work with thick gloves on in cold climates? If not, there’s still a very valid use for the Action Button as a camera control for many people.there's a new Camera Control button that eliminates the need to activate the camera with the Action Button
People may or may not deal with what you have but it's hard to tell what you're talking about from your post. Apps have notifications (if you opt for them) and they make a sound if not muted. Is that a problem? Are you wanting the mute to mute phone ringing but not app notifications?I feel like I’m using the silent switch all the time for awful apps that use it as their own personal mute switch.
I never have my ringer on and yet still need the damn switch so I can hear app content.
It baffles me that Apple would introduce this switch without mandating that apps are not allowed to do this.
So even though I also never turn my ringer on, the action button is the most pointless change ever. I’m not changing its function.
Blowing my mind that no one else in this thread seems to have this problem. I must be unlucky with my app selection.
Like, you NEVER run into this?
I've gotten used to doing these sorts of things in notification centers (for both Android and iOS). That said, having a dedicated, physical button, would cause me to revisit this sort of thing.My setup:
Any landscape position: toggle orientation lock
Any other position: toggle flashlight

That is odd seeing as how you could just lower the volume if you wanted to be more discreet. That's like muting your music or the sound of a movie when using that switch which would be wrong too. I'd post a complaint to the maker of the game.I’m talking about video games where you can’t hear any sound if the phone is switched to mute.
I have to unmute the phone to play the game and then mute it again when I exit.
