Switch button - Settings

If you prefer to use the physical switch on your Fairphone (Gen. 6) for something other than activating and deactivating Fairphone Moments you can assign a different action to your liking in the system settings. 


Currently the actions that can be assigned to the physical switch are:

  • Fairphone Moments: enabling/disabling Fairphone Moments, this is the default option
  • Do Not Disturb: enabling/disabling Do Not Disturb
  • Flight Mode: enabling/disabling Flight Mode
  • Torch Light: enabling/disabling the torch light
  • Dark & Light Mode: switch between light & dark mode. Light mode will be active when the switch is in up state, dark mode will be active once the switch is in down state.
  • Battery Saver: turns on/off the battery saver, with battery saver being on when the switch is in down state.
