What is the Action Button?
The Action Button on iPhone 15 Pro and later replaces the old ring/silent switch with a customizable physical button. It runs any Shortcut or app action — and that makes it perfect for flight tracking.
The best Action Button setup for travelers
- Open Shortcuts → + → New Shortcut.
- Add FlightyFlow → Pin Next Flight.
- Name it "Pin my flight."
- Settings → Action Button → Shortcut → "Pin my flight."
Now a single long-press on the side of your iPhone pins your next flight from your Wallet pass and starts a Live Activity. No tapping required.
Other great Action Button mappings
- Share live flight link with family.
- Copy current gate to clipboard.
- Open Live Activity (faster than long-pressing the Lock Screen).
- Toggle Travel Focus mode to silence non-trip notifications.
