iPhone 15 Pro’s Action Button to Gain More Features with iOS 18

New Delhi: Exciting news for iPhone 15 Pro users! Apple’s latest update, iOS 18, is set to bring more functionality to the iPhone 15 Pro’s Action button. Unveiled at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2024, iOS 18 introduces 14 new customizable actions for this versatile button.

New Features for the Action Button

The iPhone 15 Pro’s Action button, which replaced the mute switch, currently offers nine preset functions like Voice Memo, Camera, and Silent Mode. With iOS 18, users will soon be able to access even more features. The new options include:

1. Calculator

2. Alarm

3. Stopwatch

4. Home

5. Timer

6. Wallet

7. Dark Mode

These new functionalities can be found under a new ‘Controls’ option in the iPhone settings, allowing users to customize the Action button to suit their needs better.

Control Center Updates

In addition to enhancing the Action button, iOS 18 also brings a major overhaul to the Control Center. One of the exciting new features includes the ability to access camera functions in third-party apps, even when the device is locked. This is made possible through a new framework called “LockedCameraCapture,” which developers can use to create extensions for quick content capture.

The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, released in 2023, were the first to feature the Action button, adding a new level of convenience and customization for users. These updates with iOS 18 are set to make the Action button even more useful and versatile.
