OnePlus is one of the companies that typically adds an alert slider to its phones. It's a super convenient way to silence your phone without waking it.

OnePlus is removing its iconic Alert Slider from future devices in favor of a new customizable smart button, similar to the multifunctional Action Button on the iPhone 15 series.

Given that, it’s easy to imagine OnePlus doing something similar to the Action Button Apple introduced in the iPhone 15 Pro. The Action Button has a few pre-set options tied to a long-press, like silencing your phone or turning on the flashlight, but can also run complex iOS Shortcut automations, which I nerdily enjoy.
