Situatie
The iconic Mute Switch was finally changed with the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max. Instead, there’s an “Action Button” that can be mapped to various shortcuts and actions.
Solutie
There are two Accessibility features we can take advantage of to add an extra “button” to your iPhone. The first method requires the screen to be on, but the second method does not. Let’s dive in.
Make a Virtual “Action Button”
Using the iPhone’s “Assitive Touch” feature, we can create a virtual floating button that you can move around the screen. First, open the “Settings” app.
Next, go to the “Accessibility” settings and select “Touch.”
Go to “Assistive Touch” and toggle it on at the top of the screen.
A floating button will appear on the screen. By default, this button opens a menu that can contain up to eight different shortcuts. Tap “Customize Top Level Menu.”
Now, when you open the menu, you’ll have quick access to the actions you selected.
f you want even easier access to a specific action, you can select it as the Single-Tap, Double-Tap, or Long Press option for the floating button. This way you don’t have to open the menu all the way.
Of course, a virtual button on the screen is not as convenient as a physical button, but it does have the added benefit of having more than one action.
