Quickly Change What the Action Button Can Do

The Action button on the Apple Watch Ultra is a useful feature that lets you access a specific app in just a few seconds. While you can change what app it opens from Settings, there’s now an easier way to do it.

Now, by long pressing the Action button, you’ll see a new menu with several options, including Workout, Stopwatch, Waypoint, Backtrack, Dive, Flashlight, Shortcut, Translate, Accessibility, Voice Memo, and Recognize Music (Shazam).

From this menu, you can tap to select the app you want the Action button to open. Granted, it’s not a huge change, but it does save a little bit of time.
