Say Goodbye To Siri – Use iPhone 15 Pro’s Action Button To Activate Google Assistant!
The Phone 15 Pro models have an Action Button, and at the same time, it replaces the mute switch that was used to quickly switch between silent and ringing. Apple allows you to use this function button to open the flashlight, open the camera, start recording audio, put the phone on silent mode, open the magnifying glass, set shortcuts and more.
The fact that Apple has allowed you to trigger Siri Shortcuts opens up countless ways to use the button — whether it’s unlocking your car, a smart lock, or even using Google Assistant with the push of a button. Yes that’s right; You can open Google Assistant or any other application with the function button. This makes it easy for people to get quick access to a particular app that they open frequently.
Here, let’s see how you can do the same on the iPhone 15 Pro, explore how Siri shortcuts work with the function button, and more.
- First, you need to open Settings and then scroll down to find the action button toggle interface.
- Now you can choose any mode – including flashlight, camera and more.
- But since we are trying to open a third-party app or any other app installed on iPhone, swipe to the Shortcut selector.
- Here you need to select “Open App” and select the desired app.
- We want to open Google Assistant in this case, so select Google Assistant from the list.
Now, when you long press the function button, you launch Google Assistant, and this allows you to use Google Assistant if you don’t like Siri. In addition to choosing an app, you can also use it to launch complex Siri shortcuts, opening up endless possibilities for you.
