Apple added the Action Button to the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max, allowing users to customize it for a range of actions. From using it to enable silent mode to quickly opening the camera, the Action Button is a one-click doorway to some of the most used actions.
The Action Button was first made available on the Apple Watch Ultra. However, while this button is an extra control option on the Watch, it replaces the mute/silent switch on the iPhone. As a result, if you decide to use the Action Button for anything else, you lose the one-click mute/silent functionality.
With that out of the way, let's understand how to use the iPhone 15 Pro's Action Button.
