The best option would be button only, but options to program is for single click, double click, and hold for x seconds. 3 functions in one.
Got a tip for us?

iOS 17.1 Beta 3 Prevents Action Button From Activating the Camera or Flashlight in a Pocket

If you were setting a focus, you’d likely want to make absolutely sure by having the phone in front of you anyway. I did discover that it’s not specifically a pocket modification they made. If you cover the camera on the front of the iPhone while the screen is off, action button won’t trigger the camera/flashlight etc. So it’s a simple change in software, which would be replicating an in-pocket scenario.
The tightest. I can’t have children.I've literally never activated it by accident. You guys must be wearing tight af jeans.
Disagree, as long as there was a clear difference in the haptic feedback like there is with the Silent toggle (one vs. three haptic pulses) to indicate enabled vs. disabled, I think it would be just fine. They allow you to toggle Silent in this way, I don't see what's different about a Focus.
So you've personally asked your coworkers? Either way, your anecdote doesn't speak for everyone. Plenty of people switch between silent and sound. It's pretty common.
I am not sure which sensors they would specifically be, but I am thinking it would be whatever sensors determine whether or not always on display needs to be on, as this turns off when 'not in use', such as in pocket or when face down. Can even make it turn off just by covering the dynamic island sensors. Who knows?
Hey
Gotten lists set up, but how are you getting the actually icon of the app/function that is processing on the left hand side and the actual shortcut description under the list name. The instructions I have seen and followed, only show what is entered into the menu lists, if that makes sense?
For example, my lists only show the 'Silent Mode' wording with no icon whereas yours shows 'Silent Mode' then 'Toggle Silent Mode' underneath and shows the silent mode icon to the left.
Thanks
I used 3 shortcuts:
Detailed alert list. (unmodified)
Transport quiz (sample shortcut which calls Detailed alert list. Modified it: changed item names, added IF statements for each menu item, renamed to Action Menu)
Make Icon (simple shortcut I made, resizes, base64 encodes, copies to clipboard. The existing more elaborate ones were overkill.)
The first two you can download online. You'll need to fetch icons for your apps online, crop square. Then create base64 for pasting into the Action Menu item Icon:
I don’t disagree with you in your case. Just saying that most people would likely check the screen for visual confirmation.
I hear you bro! Fortunately I was able to put them back. /settings/appearance
my phone is always screen towards my leg to protect it in case I bump into something
Again, you can do that with the button as well. So why would the switch make more sense? There is no explanation you can give that is a good argument. None. A one dimensional, one use switch vs a button that can be programmed to do multiple things depending on personal preference.
I bet Voice Control would be able to read off the titles or give numbers to each item so they can be activated.
Not sure why you're asking me, because I never questioned that to begin with. You questioned its usefulness and lack of use amongst iPhone users, which I refuted.
Otherwise, I think people would rather have an action button as well as a dedicted switch, which I understand. The button as is, is a bit limited by software.
I wish it could disable unmuting. Don't care if it mutes in there. Just don't allow it to be disabled by accident
