Silent Mode Option missing for Action Button in iOS 26

[Pagan43]

Hi,

the action button on my iPhone 15pro is without function after upgrading to iOS 26. And the option for silent mode is missing completely from the action button settings. Or do I miss something?
It is a bit annoying. And embarrassing if I am too dumb to find the option in settings.
Maybe others have experienced the same and have a solution?

Best

Silent Mode shows up as the first option for me in the Action Button settings.

Normally it did for me too. But this time it changed to no action by itself. And the option silent mode vanished completely.

You could make a shortcut to do it.

Toggle silent mode – Matthew Cassinelli

Switches the iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch silent mode on or of

Yes. But for you the option is still available, isn’t it? So with me it is some sort of bug?

Correct. Just offering an alternative until it gets patched.

Thanks for your input. I have been reluctant to make use of shortcuts. But maybe the time has come…

To close this topic: latest iOS update delivered and the bug is gone. Thanks again for your hints and work arounds.
