Sliding side button?

Where can I find the settings for the side button that you can slide up and down?

For now it just “disables microphone and camera” which is kinda silly. It’s a software thing and not actually physically disconnecting it…

I’d rather it just enables do not disturb, etc.

Thanks!

On devices running Murena eOS the physical switch will enable & disable your camera and microphone access to easily safeguard your privacy when needed. We are working with the team at Murena to see if we can expand the options assigned to the switch as you see on your The Fairphone (Gen. 6) running Android.

Yes, and for the launch of the phone they at least managed to let the software do something with the switch on /e/OS. More will most probably follow with time.

Check. Understood. I would have liked to see that on the main selling page as this was a true selling feature.

But I’ll take my privacy before this button.

Can’t wait for this feature to come to eos soon as well!

I’d like to at least be able to start the minimo launcher as the ‘default’ fp6 is also able to do. But off course being able to select apps/system functions for the button would be even better.

Ohhh thats true! Thank you!!
I didnt see this .. ops
But its not like it is shown in “the Ad”
Hopefully they bring this stock-feature to eOS as well *-*

Where can I find that setting?

I have /e/OS 3.3-a15-20251210556408-official-FP6 , and I can not find any setting to change what the yellow slider/button/switch does.

Go to Settings → System → ‘Slider’ or similar. It is the second option with a slider icon

Found it, thanks!

I was using the settings search bar to search for “switch” and “slider”, but that did not show this setting.

I also can’t find it in German, seems not be indexed for the search. I can also search settings which are not visible, reverse behaviour…
