      You underestimate how muh easier is to click tbe Action Button vs dragging the Control Center down. Specially one handed or carrying stuff.

        Not just that, but a lot of the most important functionality in control center is further hidden under long presses. Takes FOREVER to bring up a list of Bluetooth devices or WiFi networks or the hotspot/airdrop settings.

        They should add an “open control center” shortcut action for this purpose.

        Not if you’re just going to select your action from a menu like OP is doing. In some ways it’s even less convenient than the Control Center because the menu items are at the very top of the screen.

        Seeing that most of OP’s shortcuts are at the TOP of the screen, how much easier is it, really, to access those functions?

      It’s honestly my favorite feature. I always have to turn my WiFi fully off when driving or it auto connects to my dash cam and stops maps and music. Since you can only temporarily disable it (idk the technical term) in control center I’d have to unlock>settings>wifi>off and again with Bluetooth. Now I can hold the action button>select shortcut and it’s done. I also have a timer set for my lunch break and before I’d forget to turn it on because I didn’t want to stop in a walkway to go through menus. Now action button>start preset timer. It’s a small time saver but it’s nice for the things you use often.

      The con for me is I accidentally press it when trying to turn the volume up

        you can turn off the auto connection to your dashcam’s wifi connection in the wifi settings. just turn off auto-join and that’s that.

      Yeah, some are kind of redundant but I plan on swapping them out as I think of more convenient shortcuts to put in their place.

    How can you create the toggle shortcut on/off.

    Can you share?

    Thanks

      Here’s how I did it.

      1. Open Shortcuts App
      2. Tap the + button in the top right corner.
      3. Tap the Add Action Button.
      4. Tap in the Search Field and Search “Set Silent Mode”.
      5. At the top of the screen it will say Turn Silent Mode On.
        1. Tap the word “Turn” and select “Toggle”
        2. Go to the search bar at the bottom of the page and Search “Vibrate Device”
      6. Tap Done in the top right hand corner.

      Skip step 5b if you don’t want a vibration notification. Thats all.

    Willing to share your automation shortcut? I’d love to use it as a template for my own. Thanks!

        Bruh why do people always say this shit. The median income of new BMW purchasers is $125,000. Credit isn’t easy to come by anymore anyways.

        I know it’s Reddit’s fantasy that everyone who drives nice cars and has nice shit is just in massive debt but it’s by and large not true.

        You have to be pretty well off to even get approved for a loan on a new BMW even if the car itself is a stretch for you

        Yep. There’s a difference between living rich and being rich. Not to say this necessarily applies to this person, but a hard thing to process on social media nowadays.

      You gotta make it have a menu like this in portrait mode but trigger the camera if horizontal. That’s the move.

    Congrats you mimicked Android. No hate please, I have both and am waiting for my latest iPhone and will follow your lead. Just stating a fact, it has been a glaring unnecessary omission , no reason it’s not default like this by now.

    Oh this is cool, I’ve been using it in the list mode, so it just shows each item listed from top to bottom. I really like this way. It’s crazy so many ppl don’t realize the power of this button lol.
