What is Action Button on iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max?

The Action button on the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max is a force-sensitive solid-state button substituting the Mute switch. It is customizable to access quick actions on your iPhone. So, you may configure how you want to use the new Action button on your iPhone 15 Pro. Similar to the Apple Watch Ultra’s Action button, it can perform a series of actions, such as:

Silent Mode: The Action button is set to toggle between Ring and Silent modes by default. Focus: Quickly activate a preferred focus filter via the Action Button.   Camera: You can launch the camera by pressing the Action button to capture precious moments.   Torch: Like the camera, you may customize the Action button to turn on or off the flashlight with a press.   Voice Memo: You may quickly capture your idea by activating Voice memos through the Action button.   Magnifier: While going through small texts, you may launch Magnifier via the Action button.   Shortcut: The Action button on iPhone 15 Pro can adapt your custom Shortcuts, such as sending a message or launching an app.   Accessibility: You can use preferred accessibility tools, including VoiceOver, Zoom, AssistiveTouch, and others, via the Action button.   No Action: It is basically for those who wish to do nothing.  

You will also receive haptic feedback when you use it to activate any action. Apple has opted for this small solid-state button to reduce dust accumulation and protect your iPhone from water damage. All right, enough rambling! Now that you understand the basics of this feature, let’s move on to some action.

How to customize Action Button on iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max

Before we begin, there are a few things you must take care of. As we discussed above, there are a series of actions you can assign to this button.

Set a Focus

Launch Camera using Action Button

Set up a Shortcut

Note: Once you choose a respective action, simply head back to Settings or kill the menu. Your preferences are saved upon selection.

Enable accessibility features

Apple has been hell-bent on making lives easier with Accessibility add-ons. It is even possible for those with physical disabilities. This idea has now made its root to Action Button as well. Tip: By assigning Detection Mode to the Action button, you can make the most of iOS 17’s Point and Speak feature. This uses the LiDAR sensors to detect nearby text, people, doors, and scenes and provide users with audio or haptic feedback. Wrapping up… And that’s all! The new Action Button is a great addition to the iPhone, as it lets you accomplish tasks quickly and efficiently. What do you think of this new button?
