Apple introduced a new Action Button on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max this year.
It replaces the Ring/Silent switch and can be assigned to a whole host of features.
And with the new iOS 17.2 update, you can set the Action Button to quickly launch the Translate app.
It’s perfect if you need to translate text and even real-world conversations into other languages – whether you’re on holiday or at home.
“In the Translate app, you can translate text, voice, and conversations into any supported language,” Apple explained.
“You can also download languages to translate entirely on a device, even without an internet connection.”
To get the update, just go to Settings > General > Software Update and install iOS 17.2.
How to edit the Action Button
Customizing the Action Button is very easy, and can be done at any time.

Just go into Settings > Action Button..
You can then swipe sideways through a list of features that can be assigned to the Action Button.
Just settle on the one you want – in this case, the Translate feature.
You can go back and change it at any time.
How does the Translate app work?
It’s easy to forget that Apple’s Translate app exists – but it’s immensely powerful.
The app lets you translate text or even your voice.
And there’s an option to translate real-time voice conversations too.
You can review words with multiple meanings, and even download languages for offline translation.
That makes it especially useful on vacation.
