Currently I just have mine set up for camera because I went on holiday and it was used more often. Now that I’m back working I don’t need the camera nearly as much and was wondering what’s a more useful setup for Action Button?

I have long used the double back tap to run a shortcut to set the media volume to 0 and switched it to the action button. I work in video production which involves long hours of sitting around and moments where absolute silence is crucial. This was I confirm a video isn’t going to loudly announce itself in the middle of a take. It’s also just generally useful in public.
I’ve got it set up as a panic button so I can press it every time the EU debates interface compatibility.
Toggle on/off the always-on display. That way if I’m at dinner with friends or whatever it doesn’t distract me, but when I’m at my desk I can see things anytime.
You can also have this automated with focus modes, I have a “party” mode that’s like a half-dnd when I’m being social, and it turns AOD off and a bunch of other stuff
Flashlight for now, but I really want it to bring up the Apple TV remote. Maybe someday
Thanks for the idea!

Very basic shortcut that will open the remote control app when run.
Wow it works, this is awesome! Thanks!
I’ve left it at the default
I have mine set to toggle orientation lock akin to the iPads of old. I’m LOVING it, and easily use it many times a day as I watch videos look at photos and play games, it’s especially useful in bed laying sideways and useful as sometimes it’s a game to see which corner control center is in
Ooh, I actually loved orientation lock too! Forgot that it was a thing
Mine runs a Siri shortcut that triggers a script on my home assistant server to remote start my car. Incredibly useful.
If I felt like porting the python script to Siri Shortcuts, I could do it natively, but that seems like too much work
I am using it for the flashlight. I hope to get fancy with a shortcut, but I don’t have one picked out yet.
I’m thinking maybe I will try it for my receipt scanning shortcut on a future business trip.
I set mine to release one of the slave children Apple uses to build their phones.
