You can easily add new shortcuts, or controls, to your iPhone's Control Center by customizing its settings. This allows you to quickly access your most used functions with a simple swipe.
How to Add Shortcuts to the Control Center
To add shortcuts to your Control Center, you'll need to navigate through your device's settings and select the desired controls.
Step-by-Step Guide:
Follow these steps to customize your Control Center:
- Open Settings: Begin by tapping the Settings app icon on your iPhone's Home screen.
- Access Control Center Settings: Scroll down and tap on Control Center.
- Customize Controls: Within the Control Center settings, tap on Customize Controls. This section allows you to manage which controls appear.
- Add New Shortcuts (from the "More Controls" Section):
- You will see two sections: "Include" (controls already in your Control Center) and "More Controls." The "More Controls" acts as the "MoreSection" mentioned in the reference, listing available shortcuts.
- To add a shortcut, locate the desired control in the More Controls list.
- Tap the green '+' icon next to the shortcut you wish to add. This action effectively acts as the "tap the shortcut. Toggle" and the "tap the choose button" referenced, immediately "select[ing] the shortcut you want to add to the control" center. The control will instantly move to the "Include" section.
Once added, these shortcuts will be accessible every time you open your Control Center by swiping down from the top-right corner on Face ID iPhones, or swiping up from the bottom edge on Touch ID iPhones.
