I created a simple action button shortcut that offers the user a list of actions that can be performed with 1 tap. The passwords option opens Passwords in the Settings app, for those who need frequent access. If you don't own a newer Kia that makes use of remote access, delete said item from the list of options.The Notes option allows you to quickly create a note. More options can be added as needed. I hope this of use to someone.

I use it to quickly turn reduce white point on. Perfect for nighttime usage.
Have you found a way of getting feedback when you toggle silent mode in a shortcut like this? I’ve found, if you have the action button set to the silence button, you get feedback, but it it’s part of a separate shortcut, you don’t
No, I don’t think there is a way.
When using a shortcut from an action menu like this, your attention is required to actually choose the option, so a lack of feedback doesn’t really bother me to be honest.
Feedback?
Sorry, don't have a 15, but won't "Vibrate Device" Shortcuts action accomplish this when doing it via a Shortcut?
I have set it up for circle to search like Android - it works well and you can also set it up for back tap.

There's a Way to Get Google's Circle to Search AI Feature on Your iPhone
This neat workaround requires the Google app and an iOS shortcut.

If you have an iPhone 15 Pro, I was wondering how you use your Action Button. On mine, I have it as a Shortcut to make it a Play/Pause button since I enjoyed having a dedicated play/pause button for so long on my iPod nano.
EDIT: I started a poll but it was merged with this thread so that's why this is out of context.

Thanks! I realised that, after I posted my reply.
The question regarding timing of the shortcut still applies; if you know, it'd be nice. Thanks!
Do you think it is possible to use the action button on the 15PM to trigger traditional weight lifting on my wife’s AW8?
I have the shortcuts in a folder and tell the action button open that folder
Ideally, I would like the action button to toggle silent mode when the phone is locked (in my pocket or face down at a meeting) and then pull up a menu of options when I'm using the phone. Is that possible?
