What is the iPhone 15 Pro Action Button?
On the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, a small button located above the volume rocker called the action button can be programmed to carry out a variety of tasks. The action button is a new button that will take the place of the silent/ringer switch, as Apple stated at the event. It is located in the same location as the previous iPhone generations’ ringer/mute switch. The user experience would be greatly improved by receiving tailored haptic feedback when you push the action button. In iOS 17, Apple has already implemented a feature to speed up iPhone haptic touch.
The new action button on the iPhone 15 Pro will, however, continue to function by default as a silent/ringer toggle. To switch between the silence and ringer settings, simply push the button. The activities of the action button will also be seen in the Dynamic Island since it is now a feature of all iPhone 15 series handsets.
Action Button Functions on the iPhone 15 Pro
Similar to the action button on the Apple Watch Ultra, the action button on the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max functions similarly. Apple noted during the event that the action button could be set up to open the voice recorder, launch the camera, and access accessibility capabilities among other things. The fact that you can even programme the action button to launch a personalised Shortcut is its most significant feature. Imagine all the possibilities made available by the action button on the iPhone 15!
You can carry out the following actions on your iPhone 15 by pressing the action button:
- Change the phone’s ringing or silent setting.
- Activate various focus modes.
- Run the camera application
- Turn the torch on and off.
- Make a voice memo.
- Start the magnifier
- Run a personalised shortcut
- Obtain accessibility tools
- Language translation will be available this year.
The action button on the iPhone 15 Pro appears to be a fantastic new feature that can be used to accomplish actions with only a flick of the button, however we have not yet seen it in use.
