The action button on your iPhone is useless. Unless you do this. Most people just use it to put the iPhone on silent. But let me show how to do this. First, open the Shortcuts app and create a new folder with all the apps and action you want in it. Now, go to your action button settings, select shortcut, and pick the folder you just made. Now, instead of one boring task, you get a full command center every time you press the button. I personally use mine for Gemini and even switch my Apple TV on.
