<lite-youtube videoid="AW_eslcO6AU" videotitle="Assist in Companion App for iOS"></lite-youtube>

In this demo, you see Assist being triggered from the iPhone 15 Pro “action button” and lock screen widget. Those are a few ways of interacting with Assist, but as it’s an iOS shortcut, you can trigger it in all sorts of creative ways. You can create an automation triggered by scanning an NFC tag that launches Assist, or even add it to an existing shortcut you already use.

### “What if I don’t have an iPhone 15 pro to use the action button?”

It would be ideal if we could replace Siri with Assist in the power button long press, but since Apple doesn’t allow that. The second best option becomes the action button. For iPhones without it, there is a third option, the accessibility feature called “back tap”. Follow [this link](https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/shortcuts/apd897693606/ios) to learn how to configure it.

### Widgets

- The Actions UI in CarPlay was aligned to display the same information as in Apple Watch, previously we were displaying the “Identifier” and ”Text”, now we display just the “Text” so we keep consistency between platforms.

- We also added a button to reload your widgets, since sometimes they may become blank for a few users after an update. For actions we added a button to manually update server created Actions so you don't need to reopen the app for that (but remember to restart HA after adding or removing Actions from yaml).

- Memory usage and performance issues on our macOS client are big topics in our GitHub right now, and we are aware of them and are working towards improving them. This release is the first iteration in that direction.
