For people who don't have an iPhone 15 Pro, you can make this shortcut and place it in the widget on the lock screen. It's not as easy as having the button, but it works too
I’ve got it so I can remote start my car engine so it’s nice and warm when I get to it. Just assigned a shortcut to the feature within the app that allows me to do it.
Nice video! I had the short cut to open music app, now i have it to choose music app, flashlight on off, silent mode on off, shazam, camera so far! Thank you!!!
For an “Action button” party trick when using an older iPhone, you can put any shortcuts (the one in the video included) on a Widget, as an icon on the Home Screen, or using Back Tap.
I use it for quick notes, let’s say you are walking and you have an idea or your colleague suggested some action plan while casually talking, click action button and note for later processing like adding to calendar or to do list etc
Exactly the video that I needed Nikias! Para poder sacarle potencial a algo que no he hecho caso del todo desde que lo tengo y sentía que no lo estaba aprovechando. Thank you so much!
My favourite way to use action button is to set it to do different things depending on iphone's orientation. This way i can add 6 different actions to the same button. On top of it I've added what I call double action button. This is based on my shortcut detecting difference in volume level so I can attach second action to my action button by pressing volume button just after I've first pressed action button. Combining these two techniques I've managed to assign 12 different actions to my action button. The biggest chalenge is to memorise trigger conditions for each of these 12 actions until they become a second nature. It's a powerful feature. I love that it works on lock screen. I hate that it does no longer work when phone is in the pocket (Apple has added proximity detection in the latest ios update so users no longer accidentaly press the action button in their pocket. What If I meant to press action button on purpose when phone is in my pocket? Guess apple forgot/not thought about users like me.).
@@DjangoGroen you cannot double press action button itself. What I call double press is in fact pressing action button then straight after the volume button. For example: If I press action button only, then camera will open in a photo mode. If however I press action button and volume button just after, then camera will open but this time in video mode. To do the above you need to add if statement in your shortcut that detects difference in volume level. For this part it is just to much to explain but if you wrote any more complex shortcuts you will know what I mean.
I prefer the method where you point the action button to a folder within shortcuts. Instead of a list, this pulls up a little widget that has all the shortcuts within that shortcuts folder. I prefer how it's displayed and it's easier to swap shortcuts in and out. You can even create different folders to activate in different modes.
I am trying to make it choose different folders on different focus modes but I think you can’t really do it it only works by choosing from menu in that way
Thanks for this video tutorial! I have created a shortcut menu consisting of Silent mode Open camera Call wife Record voice memo Set timer Write new note
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.
I did all this, and now i have the action button symbol on the top of my screen at all times. Like a running phone call. This is kind of annoying. I dint see that his happend to you're phone. What did I do wrong?😅
So I have a BMW. There’s no shortcut to lock or unlock the door. I say hey siri lock my car door and she locks the door. Is there a way to get that in shortcuts. Like make a tab and name it lock door. When I hit it Siri will be active and it will automatically type in lock my car door and she will lock my door?
One thing I find a little annoying of the action button is, for example, opening up the camera, and turning on the flash, and turning on silent mode, and Shazam, a song and quick note that you can add, most of these through Shortcuts are already toggles. You can add to the control center, so it kinda doesn’t make sense to put them on the action button but I guess it depends if you want them on the control centre or on the action button or both
I have a problem with action button on apple watch ultra. I use the shortcut that recognises the music and attaches album to my library. It works perfectly fine on iphone. But on apple watch it times out. Why?
I’ve made an automation whenever I connect to my car bluetooth Driving turns on and automatically plays music when I disconnect, a focus is choosed based on my current location and saves the car location it simply works by getting current location if current location is “this address” turn home ON if “location” is work, turn work and if none of these is true turn ON THE GO on when ON THE GO is on action button starts a workout or gives me directions to my car when I tap workout which is “outdoor walking” FITNESS focus turns automatically on if I press it again, workout ends and goes back to ON THE GO than for every focus I have a different home screen with different apps based on what I need at the moment and different action button it took me days making this.. but can’t be more useful than this
and it’s much more complicated than this since I also have an automation for every focus when it’s enabled like turn on always on when driving turn off when working and turn on silent mode set media volume to a percentage, turn off wifi and things like that I really don’t have to turn a focus myself and it works flawless 🙌🏻
Recorda de avisar al usuario NIkkias que el primer shortcut debes convertirlo en toggle, sino pones el telefono en mute y no podes volver a colocarlo en "Rring".. pq vuelve a silenciarlo si la accion unicamente hace eso en vez de ser un toggle, sino es crear otro shortcut para vovler a colocar el sonido pero no existe.. hay uno q es "turn ON ringotone to 50%" o algo asi pero no tiene sentido..
This is probably the best action button video I've seen 👍
The shortcut to "Clean Wife" really got me 🤣🤣🤣
5:56 I thought I was the only one who caught that 😂. I had to replay it like “surely he didn’t mean that” 😂
Me too 😂
One simple word Thanks, now I can make my own
Exactly! 💛 Share it with me how yours ended up! 💛💛💛

Thanks, first one that was clear in the way to show me the shortcut. Now make sense action buttons. I goint to try in my watch too
Exactly the video that I needed Nikias! Para poder sacarle potencial a algo que no he hecho caso del todo desde que lo tengo y sentía que no lo estaba aprovechando. Thank you so much!
this is the video that i was waiting for man, thanks!
That's so useful!! Thank you so much
I replaced the flashlight button on my iPhone home screen with this custom shortcut. thank you!

I need to know how to the the double press , I thought I had explored everything but that’s not the case if that’s really possible

it only works by choosing from
menu in that way
Finally simple suggestion! Thanks
Super easy to understand .. thank you
That was a great video!! One of my favorites from you.. Thank you for teaching me how to program my action button!
This is so useful! Thank you so much
Great feature!!! Thanks for the video
thanks for that lil short cut trick on the Lock Screen...
That’s awesome thank you! I completely forgot it’s there
Your videos are amazing bro 😎
Thank you Joey 🥹🥹🥹
This was really handy
Good video. I use mine to launch the camera without using the screen shortcuts
Very cool video and keep making more I love them
Thanks for this video tutorial! I have created a shortcut menu consisting of
Silent mode
Open camera
Call wife
Record voice memo
Set timer
Write new note
Good vid. Is this the pro or pro max ?
Bro actually helped me
OMG this is so cool, thanks. 😊
Bro secretly changed the iphone model for reach.

Ok but do you think there is a way to make the silence switch on older models become the action button?
No this is not possible. But you can use double and tripple tap from accessibility settings to trigger your shortcut.
This is so cool! Thank you
can we include on the menu turn on/off mobile data instead of wifi and the most precious one that no one can do ... location service on/off???
Thank you
I’ve seen you can also map it to different actions according to the time of the day. Is there any chance you know how that would work?
Is there any way to add the "Translate" function of the iOS 17.2 action button to the shortcut?
I did all this, and now i have the action button symbol on the top of my screen at all times. Like a running phone call. This is kind of annoying. I dint see that his happend to you're phone. What did I do wrong?😅

i did the update but the translate option is not showed up in the action button options. Its necessary for me to use it any advises plzzz
what about we don't have action button n our phone still we want to create such menu ??
I can’t figure out what you went to make shortcuts. I click on shortcuts I don’t see that plus to make anything
Thank you!
Is there a way to make the iPhone vibrate when muting the iPhone through the menu?
That thumbnail has made me wish there were action button stickers we could buy 🤤😱
I want to understand stickers to put on the button itself or??..
The surely is someone on Etsy selling that
@@youthoughtiwasdone7625 Yes stickers to put on the button itself
@@tdrg_ nope
This comment gave me the idea to try and print some using a High quality label maker
very useful !
excellent

Great video! I just need to buy the iphone 15 pro xD
I’ve made an automation whenever I connect to my car bluetooth Driving turns on and automatically plays music
when I disconnect, a focus is choosed based on my current location and saves the car location
it simply works by getting current location
if current location is “this address”
turn home ON
if “location” is work, turn work
and if none of these is true turn ON THE GO on
when ON THE GO is on
action button starts a workout
or gives me directions to my car
when I tap workout which is “outdoor walking”
FITNESS focus turns automatically on
if I press it again, workout ends and goes back to ON THE GO
than for every focus I have a different home screen with different apps based on what I need at the moment and different action button
it took me days making this.. but can’t be more useful than this
and it’s much more complicated than this since I also have an automation for every focus when it’s enabled
like turn on always on when driving
turn off when working and turn on silent mode
set media volume to a percentage, turn off wifi and things like that
I really don’t have to turn a focus myself
and it works flawless 🙌🏻

The whole day
Super, super útil 👨🏼💻
THANK YOU!!!! I could kiss you on the face!!!! Life Saver!!!
I don't have an Action Button but this video is so inspiring I will start using shortcuts more! Thank you!
Why peompt doesnt show up for me? Only next action suggestions
Awesome
Who is retentive enough that they watch the half lives of their coffee as the body breaks it down? Like wtf? Lol
I’m not seeing a translate option with my Action Button options
I completely didn’t get that. I’ve watched 3 times and am still confused. 😳
Shortcuts is very new for me. Maybe that’s the problem.
5:56 “clean wife” 😂😂😂
I really love having instant access to the camera, but this would be amazing for the iPhone 16 when there are 2 action buttons 🤣
😂
iPhone 16?
Weird, I've been having my 15pm since day one and my battery capacity is already 98%.
5:53 “clean wife” 😂
I cnt able to add Spotify
I find action button more useful in APPLE WATCH ULTRA-2 , then the iphone.
Nikiaaas 😃
Waltaereeee 💛
@@NikiasMolina 🫢.. you actually saids mi nobreee 🫨🫨
Where can I find a video where they talk slowly and not 1800 miles an hour and they actually explain it instead of going through it at 1000MPH
Who are these people that think it’s useless? I’ve only heard excitement
😍😍😍😍
How was this made 10 months ago haha. The video title says iPhone 16
You’ve lost me around 03.00 😅. Way too much fuss and many steps to be taken and remember… looking like an Android experience 😂
I felt the same but watched back a few times and have managed to do it.
No, it was not easy to understand at all. I didn’t learn a damn thing from this. I’m just more frustrated.
246 like🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤sir garu one best mobile or smartwatch or TV gift 🎁 me sir garu 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
So it’s basically still useless
No way in hell he has a girlfriend 🤔🫢🤥😂
