Have you gave it a good used to it? Or it’s like a NPC? I use it for Shazaming music and I couldn’t find a better use for it. Its good honestly.
I never use it. I set it to open location settings so I can easily turn on the location, but I still go into Settings -> Privacy -> Location Settings.
I just feel it is awkwardly placed. I mean if you’re holding it in your palm and using your phone with just one hand, it is hard to reach.
Use it to toggle silent, focus, flashlight, and Shazam. Surprisingly, I use it everyday and can’t imagine getting an iPhone without it.
I have shortcut attached to it but I barely use it. I do not like you have hold it. Rather see option to tap it to go into action. Shortcut opens menu to pick various things.
I have the screenshot, copy to clipboard, autodelete shortcut.
Just got the 15 pro and the day after went on a trip to tail of the dragon where not only was I driving I also wanted to get pictures of cars passing by came in very handy having it set to cam
I use it as a silence button. But honestly it gets pressed accidentally often which sucks compared to the switch where that never happened.
I wish I could map multiple actions to it depending on button press. IE long press opens camera and short press mutes device. If it can do that I haven’t figured it out yet.
I use it everyday to open up my bus ticket
I’ve kept it as the silence button and use it fairly often for that. I use my triple-backtap for Shazam.
it’d be better if it was below the volume buttons instead of above them. i set mine to shazam cause the lockscreen camera button is easier to press quickly without fumbling. (same for flashlight)
I use it for screen rotation lock. It’s perfect
I use it as a menu all the time
I use it to activate the reduce white point accessibility feature. Makes the display even dimmer. Apple boasts about how bright iPhone display gets but what I really want is a dimmer display.
I use it to open camera or switch to selfie mode if camera app is open. Or if the phone is upside down, activate flashlight.
But why on Earth did they leave such a useful button in such an inconvenient location? It should be much lower - either below the power button or below the volume buttons. Apple used to care about UX….
Been loving it as a camera button on my current vacation. Taking pics with gloves on is finally achievable.
Huh…the volume buttons already act as physical shutter buttons
If you dont remove ur gloves then How do you close the camera app after use then?
Just lock the screen with pysical power button?
Then how would he use the phone for other purposes? Like calling
🤦♂️
