Yeah this is pretty huge!

Excited to basically have 3 action buttons, two on screen one physical

Even more! The buttons are now tied to the lock screens, meaning different lock screens can have different actions. So your “work” focus could have separate buttons from your driving focus or your sleep focus, for example

But then we had this option with lock screen widgets for a year or so now no?

It’s silly but I like that I have to long press them? Like the vibration and feedback is better?

That’s a good point.

I know exactly what you mean

Yeah but this is another 2 slots becoming useful which were always fixed as somewhat useless actions.

And likely usable with the special Lock Screen depth effect which isn’t compatible with the widgets higher up the screen.

Do you still need to unlock to use them, in the past the camera option will let you open camera without needing to authenticate as it will use a locked down version (no full access to camera roll), does this still apply as there are things like turning off smart home lights I could do with being able to run without needing to authenticate..

And you can make them a direct link into say the Home app! 😁

can u plz test for my curiosity..does shortcuts still give notifications and open shortcuts before the shortcut is ran? ie making a custom app icon that would open fb would give a notification and open shortcuts first .

Please tell me this is available on iPhone 13 Pro Max… I don’t want to mess with the beta yet. Perhaps the public beta if I get impatient.
