All sorts of Android phones used to have shortcut buttons, and with the arrival of the iPhone 15 Pro's Action button, it's time to bring them back

    So many people in this thread saying “who cares it’s just a button” without having any idea what it actually does.

    Want the mute switch behavior? Well that’s the default thing the button does and you can use it without looking at it.

    Want to program the button to do like literally anything? You can do that. For example:

    • Launch the camera app, or any other app
    • Control your smart home accessories
    • Toggle Do Not Disturb, or another focus mode
    • Run a command on a remote server via ssh
    • Start recording audio in case you’re around cops doing cop stuff
    • Or anything else you can program in with a Shortcut

      My Samsung Galaxy S10 has already: The bixby button which opens my calendar (no root necessary) The powerbutton pressed twice: opens the camera. The volume down button: takes a picture.

      iPhone once more is just missing options and settings
