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

      Samsung XCover's have that button. I have never used it for anything and just disabled it as it was just annoying. That little mute switch that apples have though is fantastic used that all the time, when I had an iPhone for work.
