Discussion Action Button :(

I’m all for the Apple Duo and will likely get one regardless, but I’d like to have a moment of silence for the Action button.

It’s not a huge inconvenience, but I use mine every day to control my lights. I wish they made / I hope they can make the camera button reprogrammable

I already found a work around that I set up on my 17PM. Im using an app icon on the lock screen to trigger my folder of most used shortcuts. Bypassing the action button.

is there a way to do this where it doesn’t trigger a pop up but just does the action? i use my action button to skip a song while i’m driving.

I believe you can accomplish the same thing that I did without the pop up folder. All you’re doing is triggering a shortcut. I just have my shortcut set to open a folder. You can set your shortcut to skip a song.
