Hallo, gibt es eine Möglichkeit dabei eine Aktion auch wieder zu beenden mit der Aktionstaste? Ich schaffe es nur Aufnahmen mit dem Knopf zu starten aber nicht wieder sie zu beenden.🙁 Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland und danke 🙏
@@swlak516When “Current Focus” shows up in the “If” statement, tap on it, and a menu should pop up. Towards the bottom you should see “Focus”, “Icon”, and “Name.” Tap on “Name” and then rather than having to put the “Current Focus” variable into a text block, that variable will now just return the name.
For those of you that don’t have the new iPhone, you can use the accessibility shortcuts like back tap, using triple tap, or double tap to use this shortcut. As he says, you can’t set the mute though.
Thank you! I've been seeing various TH-cam tech reviewers saying that the action button was essentially useless to them because they couldn't assign double-tap or triple-tap actions to it. And I kept thinking, "I bet you could do more with that button with shortcuts" but hadn't had the time to look into it. You've given me a big leg up with this.
Unrelated but your videos go straight to the point and are easy for us to understand (I really am a dinosaur in terms of understanding the shortcuts app but the way you explained it made sense to me). Great job!
@@beardfm I made a shortcut using the volume to execute commands. For example when you press the action button it’ll log the current volume for later use, then set the volume to 50% wait 1 second and after that second if the volume of greater than 50% execute command A, if the volume is less than 50% execute command, if the volume doesn’t change then it could bring up the menu, then set the volume back to the starting value. This way you can maintain two very quick action you can do without looking
Constructive video, rather than complaining that the action button does just one thing!! Like other TH-camrs, you demonstrated how to assign more than one action to the action button 👏👏👏
Really thorough and well thought out video. I feel like the next evolutionary step is to make the action button customizable by location. Maybe the shortcut method can achieve this? Ie if I’m at the grocery store, bring up my shopping list. If I’m at the office, bring up my calendar. If I’m at my parents house, bring up my RING home security. It’s incredible how versatile a simple customizable button can be.
I've just managed to do this by setting up a custom focus mode which gets enabled when I'm at the climbing gym, then the action button checks to see if the Current focus name is "Climbing" and opens a particular app. Another one checks to see if my "Work" focus is enabled and opens my 2FA app.
Really cool idea to make it dependent on the current focus. one minor thing: Instead of using a textfield you could also check the name of the Focus from "Get Current Focus" step.
The action button is actually really well done although there’s one key thing that it’s missing! I want the ability to map my action button to a specific function per focus mode! While I’m at work, I wanted to be a voice recorder when it changes to sleep. I want to be the flashlight, gaming I want to be my mute switch etc. This is a huge missed opportunity, but hopefully they bring it with a later software update, because this will make it so much more powerful and useful!!! Having it being mapped to a specific function based contextually on what I’m doing is going to be insane!
You can have it changed based on focus mode! I walk through how to set that up later in the video. And if you have focus mode activate per location, you’re good to go!
After 5 years since I switched to Android, I've ordered an Iphone 15 Pro Max. Just after few your videos I see, your channel will be my go to place to tweak settings in my new phone.
I used my action button to toggle mute. But after your master class video, I will copy your shortcut! Thank you, this has been very useful. Have a nice weekend!
I wanted the Action Button to change behavior based on the app running in the foreground. I was able to achieve this by using the Data Jar app to have a global variable, then use Automation to update the value of this global variable when opening or closing specific apps. And based on the value of the global variable, the Action Button behaves differently. This method can be extended to any Automation trigger as well.
As soon as they announced the action button I was hoping it would be customizable by focus. I was sad it was not. I was glad you said the same. Maybe Apple will listen? Great idea on using the shortcuts! Thank you!!
Downloaded yesterday and screwed up the shortcut trying to make changes. Download link no longer works (Error: File Not Found). Please fix link. Also don’t understand the HomeKit scenes part. Have a “Good Night” and “Good Morning” scene in HomeKit. Was trying to get them to run from your menu and could not get it to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Perhaps a more in depth video on how to create shortcuts at some point 🙂
Sorry about the link, tried to replace and it seems it’s an error on iCloud side. Maybe tomorrow? And will work in an in-depth Shortcuts tutorial soon!
Wow this just changed the whole action button for me. I didn’t really know how to take full advantage of it but this video helped me get a better grasp on it. Great video
Apple actually made a software change already in 17.1, but it's just a longer press required when the phone detects it's in your pocket. But it means Apple may change things via software in the future!
Thank u bro man I was getting so freaking frustrated man but I took some deep breaths and without your video I could’ve have customized my new phone to do this, everyone else video wasn’t fully explaining nothingg 😧

This transformed the way I use my 15 Pro Max!! I just downloaded your shortcut but I found a glitch which opened the camera when selecting different focus modes. I rectified this by 2/3 of the ‘open camera’ commands (the two which weren’t associated with the actual command option to open the camera’ if this makes sense.
@@beardfm Fair enough. I was being a tad flippant with my comment. I will definitely play around with this and see how creative I can get. Integrating this with HomeKit would be useful if I could ever actually figure out HomeKit. 🤣

GREAT video. I am learning so much here. I would love to see if we can make a shortcut based on orientation of the phone. Pressing the action button to toggle screen orientation lock while in apps like photos, while watching TH-cam or any streaming apps. I would love to see more shortcut based videos
@@beardfm I see. Do you happen to know what app it is?? Would love to see you make a video on the app. Your action button video is very powerful. I’ve been using it everyday now. Thank you
Very nice video! Thanks for the shortcut. I have an iPhone 14 Pro so I have linked the shortcut to the double tap on the back function in the accessibility section. Not as straightforward as the 15 Pro but it does the trick

@@beardfmthanks! I just had someone ask me if you could do this, but based off of which app you have open. Maybe a new video idea if it’s possible to do?
Amazingly helpful video. I was able to create a menu with a few alarm toggles since l like to do about 7 alarms spread out in 5 minute increments starting at either 5am (workout), 6am (normal work days) and 8am (weekends)
😵💫 yep. A bit of a hustle to change all actions when I want it based kn focus mode. But it's actually pretty useful when focus modes are set to automatically change on day/work/weekend and or Saturday/Sunday depending on time and day.

This was so great. Got your download and built on it. Now I can arm/disarm the house and even set airplane mode on flight that also opens Spotify and puts my battery on low power. Well done.
I was literally thinking about how to do this today and had the same idea with that action button-shortcut menu. Thanks for saving me the leg work. I subbed
I just did this about 2 days ago. I was like how can i get this button to do more than one thing and I recently started playing around with shortcuts. I have no clue why I have never used shortcuts before but then I decided to do exactly this lol
Wow thank you this is AWESOME. I had to cheat and download. I look forward to making a few changes. This will really help to learn shortcuts. Thank you again!
