it’s a cool idea but I don’t have enough shortcuts that I use often enough to justify changing it from flashlight (which I use all the time)
How can you create the toggle shortcut on/off.
Can you share?
Thanks
Here’s how I did it.
- Open Shortcuts App
- Tap the + button in the top right corner.
- Tap the Add Action Button.
- Tap in the Search Field and Search “Set Silent Mode”.
- At the top of the screen it will say Turn Silent Mode On.
- Tap the word “Turn” and select “Toggle”
- Go to the search bar at the bottom of the page and Search “Vibrate Device”
- Tap Done in the top right hand corner.
Skip step 5b if you don’t want a vibration notification. Thats all.
Thanks! You’re a life saver!
Yes please
This is cool. Need to do this to my action button.
You rich. Having a BMW, 8 sleep and ip15
Really?
The BMW app works for most of the cars, even the old old ones
*spent a lot of money
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.
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
…and here I am still using the action button to toggle silent.
Great stuff! Will definitely give this a try.
You gotta make it have a menu like this in portrait mode but trigger the camera if horizontal. That’s the move.
This is much nicer looking than the List method, but is there any way to make it show more than 8?
I don’t believe so, I have the action button opening a shortcuts folder that contains these 8 shortcuts. If you add any more than 8 it will show you the first 8 in the folder, in the order you have them in.
How do you change the password icon displayed?
Shame it limits to only 8, but a nice use of the Action Button all the same, thanks for sharing
Agreed, wish you could move between sections and just create another 8. The only way I’ve been able to add more options is to use 7 icons of your choice, with the 8th being the “List” method. Here’s an example of how I have it setup. But I’ll be switching most of the buttons and applications when I have time today.

I tried to do the shortcut folder thing but I was unable to customize the icons
You should be able to tap the icon next to the title of the shortcut while you’re in it and it will allow you to change the color and glyph.
If you could share the link for this that would be much appreciated
So this actually isn’t a single shortcut running, I created a folder in the shortcuts app and then created these 8 individual shortcuts within that folder. Then I mapped the action button to open that shortcuts folder when pressed and this is the result.
These shortcuts were super simple to make, with most just being a single action within the shortcut.
I tried to do this but the 8th shortcut in my list would not show, it will always show “open app” that taken place with my supposedly 8th app like this
I’ve got the same issue, no clue how to get rid of the “Open app” 8th spot
This honestly should have been the default for action button. Having a favorites list trumps a single action.
Great thinking.
Which bmw?
Anyway to stop the autostart of „mybmw“ app when starting the car?
That’s cool. Feels very Samsung with the color/icon scheme though.
Well. I will try this. I’ve been using the Camera and love that I can long press to bring up and then use the button to snap pics. The way the camera works as a shortcut here, I have to use the actual button on the screen. 😒 but I like having multiple options.
How do you find the my bmw app? I’m about to get a new ‘23 beemer and wondering what the capabilities are
