I have the same issue iPhone 16. Silent mode missing from the list of actions I can assign to the action button. Can turn it on in sounds and haptics but can’t assign to action button as it’s not there to assign. Did a full erase and restore from iCloud backup. Still missing.

Hi, unfortunately, I have the same problem. In addition, my LTE does not turn on from fast panel too, but works from settings... It's really important features for me, so I have decided to downgrade to IOS 18

I Hope Apple fixes this fast. The bug has ironically removed the very function it was meant to perform. I only use it for silent mode as it’s very convenient to enter meetings with this features, especially when it hits you in between an important meeting that your phone is on ring and needs to be on silent. Please Apple, please fix this.

The answer is no, you don’t lose your data IF you are making regular scheduled backups to iCloud. All your apps, pictures, settings will be restored from those backups.

Back up iPhone - Apple Support

I have same problem. Tried to restart but it wont come?

Doesn’t work. I also tried to reset all settings, also without any results.

Working fine on my iPhone.

They should release a fix immediately..

Also, holding the camera button does not launch the search with the camera thing for me.

Update: I have tried "updating" via recovery mode to no avail. My next test is to restore the phone via a Mac, then restore from iCloud backup.
