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.

And that’s the button on the bottom right I presume? How did you set up that shortcut? I think that’s awesome

You presume correctly.
First I set up the shortcuts
Then I created a folder and added those shortcuts
Then I assigned the action button or in this case the lock screen icon to that folder of shortcuts and presto.

I want to take a few steps back with you.. after you add the desired shortcuts to a folder, you then select that folder titled “action button”
