iPhone just quietly updated your phone adding new ‘secret button’ trick that is perfect for your next vacation
MILLIONS of iPhone models have received a clever update that's perfect for vacations.
The free upgrade is available on your phones right now – and it'll be a game-changer for some users.
Apple introduced a new Action Button on the 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

How does the Translate app work?
It's easy to forget that Apple's Translate app exists – but it's immensely powerful.
