Mute option removed from AssistiveTouch options list

iOS 18.3 doesn't show the Mute option anymore in the AssistiveTouch options list.


I used to have it set for my Double-Tap action and now it's not there anymore.

This happens on my 16 Pro Max, other older devices don't have this issue so it must be connected to the "Action Button" which I had it set for a different action but now I need to return it and use it for mute/unmute (ridiculous!).


What's the logic here @Apple?


There used to be a physical switch for Mute/Unmute while we were allowed to have the functionality set on the AssistiveTouch and now that the physical switch is gone, replaced by a button with many other options added we're forced to use the button for Mute/Unmute?


Who's the genius behind this decision ? Can you give him a different assignment? He's clearly overwhelmed.


Please add the Mute/Unmute option back to the AssistiveTouch!

iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18

Thanks Alancito for providing the feedback link. I did submit my feedback there as well and encourage everyone affected by this issue to do the same.
