The Action Button is a welcome addition to the iPhone 15 Pro series, letting you do all sorts of things with just a tap. Rocking an older model? Donโt feel bad! Thereโs a nifty workaround for you to get a taste of using an Action Button, even without the actual button. Thanks to a clever shortcut named Rebind, you can turn your volume buttons into Action Buttonsโso they can do more than just adjust the volume on your iPhone. Hereโs everything you need to know.
To convert your iPhoneโs volume buttons into Action buttons, youโll need the software magic of Shortcuts. Fortunately, most iPhone models can use this feature if it runs at least iOS 13. You can always redownload Shortcuts in the App Store if you have accidentally deleted it.
Once thatโs done, download the Rebind shortcut on Routinehub by tapping Get Shortcut. You should see a shortcut named Rebind once you go to Shortcuts.
If you want to give a new function to those volume buttons, just tap the Rebind shortcut and then hit Rebind. This will swap out any old functions you had set up for the buttons.
Also, a quick heads-up! Duplicating the Rebind shortcut doesnโt change things upโno matter how many copies you make, theyโll all perform the same action, sticking to the most recent function youโve assigned to the volume buttons.
Rebind currently has the following categories:

Giving your volume buttons some new tricks is a neat idea, but the shortcut is still clunky. And heads up, your iPhone might feel hot if you let the shortcut run for too long. Still, itโs an entertaining workaround for those curious about the Action button experience on the iPhone.
Whatโs your verdict? Will you stick with the shortcut? Weโd love to hear your thoughts. Drop them below!
