How can I change action button settings on my iPhone 16 Pro?

My action button only opens the camera. I have opened Settings -> Action Button and changed the action. But it still always opens the camera.

i have restarted and updated my iPhone, but the action button won’t change its behavior.


Anyone had this before?

Just got it. Went to settings and opened action button. First choice is mute. If you swipe to the next option and exit, the action button will open that function. I remember exploring this feature and exited at the camera functions. Now my action button is set again to “mute”.

I have the same issues :( keeps opening on its own. What i did i temporarily disabled it (Camera

Button). Went to apple store and they are unsure on how to fix it. They offered a Reformat activity but they charged me $40 even my phone is under warranty, but they are not confident that they can fix the issues. If i request for replacement they will accept it but takes 2-3 weeks to create a diagnostic report before the replacement. ( maybe putting me on their queue list)
