iPhone 15 Pro: Create Amazing Action Button Shortcuts!

Рет қаралды 190,320

Күн бұрын

With the iPhone 15 Pro, Apple replaced the traditional mute switch with a new multi-function Action Button. The button can be assigned to perform a number of tasks, ranging from activating the flashlight to turning on the camera. Perhaps the most useful way to use the Action Button is with Shortcuts, because the single button can perform more than one action at once or bring up a selection of tools.

Wish Apple would just add a double click option, and another for holding for 3 seconds or more. Would instantly make the button 3x as useful and easily customized.

Apple needs to give the option of how long you have to hold it for. In my experience it seems like you have to hold it for too long for it to be crazy useful. That and allowing us to double press for a second action

Hallo Dan THANKS A BUNCH, 4 this VERY INTERESTING, HELPFUL & PROFESSIONAL VIDEO. I have pre-ordered an iPhone but unfortunately have to wait at least until October 26th. to get it. But I‘m VERY EXCITED ABOUT Your Action-Button-Screenshot video. I‘ve got about a 100 different shortcuts, but never used a folder in the app. But the way, You‘ve explained it, it’s possible to open EVERY SHORTCUT via this Shortcuts-Folder. My question now: How many Shortcuts are possible in 1 Folder? Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭

There's only ONE slight problem with getting all of these features out of the Action Button. It assumes that you're using/playing with your iPhone 17 hours a day, 7 days a week in order to remain proficient in all of these features. In the past, I've always purchased the Pro version of an iPhone. This video convinced me to get the non-Pro version with the traditional silent switch. Thank you for making this terrific video.

The only issue I can find for now is haptic touch. When you silence your phone without using shortcuts, you feel two different haptic touches for silencing and unsilencing. But when you use shortcuts, you don't feel this difference, and the haptic touch is the same. This can be problematic when you're trying to silence your phone while it's in your pocket.

@harry1931pt 8 ай бұрын

Can’t agree more , the workaround I can think of for now is add a Vibration Device node right after toggling the Silent Mode, its not the same as the haptic touches, but at least now I can tell if I activate the right shortcut😂

@ze_or 8 ай бұрын

like harry said i just added a check if silent mode is on, and if it’s on for it to vibrate the device. It definitely doesn’t feel as cool as the default vibration but it’s perfectly functional.

@@harry1931pt Ya, that's an excellent workaround. The only downside is you can't determine if you silenced or unsilenced the phone without seeing the screen itself as the vibrations are the same
