Find out what other functions you can perform from the iOS Command Center.
Use do not disturb mode, turn on the flashlight, mirror your phone screen, turn Wi-Fi connectivity on and off – although we’ll get to that later – or just control the sound volume. All of these features are available from one place in iOS: the Control Center.
The iPhone Control Center came as part of a major update to iOS 7, software that Apple engineers have painstakingly tweaked to give users a big change in the design of the system’s user interface. . Since then, it has continued to change and evolve.
Today, the iOS 15 Control Center offers a large repertoire of custom features that allow users to access shortcuts to perform based on which actions. If you are not familiar with this system control panel or just want to find out more news, we recommend our favorite buttons to include in the Control Center. We have started!
Our favorite features for the Control Center
Each user uses the Control Center differently, it all depends on their habits. For example, a detective (there are some among our readers) will have a button to record voice notes and a cook will have another button for the timer to help him not miss the time. soufflé. These are our 7 favorites.
1. Connectivity Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, mobile data, AirDrop …
Control center connectivity panel.
The connectivity panel that is assigned by default in Control Center is, how could it be otherwise, a must have for any iPhone user. It is extremely easy to turn functions such as mobile data or Wi-Fi connectivity on and off. However, turning off Wi-Fi does not completely disconnect, forcing the system to continue using power resources for keep it pending activation.
Another thing we would improve on the Control Center connectivity panel is the ability to customize the four buttons that appear, because for example, to activate the AirDrop feature, you need to hold the button on the panel. But Apple will surely solve it soon. For the rest, this panel is perfect and conveniently necessary, which is why it is among our favorites.
2. Home automation
Activation of a smart bulb.
As well the geeks, in the writing of iPadízate you could not miss the button to access HomeKit, the iOS home automation accessories control tool. Apple has done a great job implementing HomeKit in the Control Center, after opening the main menu you will be able to open new panels for each of your accessories, and all from the Control Center and with a few clicks on the screen.
It’s a real luxury to be able to sit on the sofa at home and turn on the living room lights or lower the blinds from your iPhone. And the more comfortable the process, the better.
3. Apple TV
Apple TV virtual remote control.
I am a user who makes heavy – perhaps sometimes excessive – use of the Apple TV, so at the time I decided that it would be a good idea to incorporate a button in the Control Center to activate a virtual remote control for the Apple TV from which you can control the TV from the iPhone, in case you don’t have the Apple Siri remote handy.
When you open the virtual remote, you will be able to find all the buttons on the original remote, even the touchscreen. Intuitive, comfortable, efficient and best of all: it works instantly and without any lag. That’s why it’s one of my favorite buttons for the iOS Control Center.
4. Screen recording
There is a button for the Control Center that allows you to record video by capturing the device screen. I really like to share my silly things, memes or even create my own GIFs to send to my friends or just to do a little tutorial, so I like being able to have such an interesting feature at my fingertips.
5. Low consumption mode
IOS Low Power Mode is a wonderful feature that completely disables a lot of system tasks, thus extending battery life. With this mode enabled, you can turn off background updates, turn off the screen sooner if you’re not using iPhone, turn off notifications, and more. A highly recommended option for your Control Center.
6. Dark Way
Night mode in the Control Center.
Like low power mode, iOS dark mode saves the iPhone a bit more battery since the pixels on its screen don’t reflect as many white tones, and this is especially noticeable on phones with OLED screens. And not only that, but it also personally helps me fall asleep easier, and let’s not deny it … it makes the design a lot cooler!
7. Quick Notes
Recently, Apple introduced the Sticky Notes feature on iPad and Mac, now it is also available on iPhone. And yes, it also has its own button for the Control Center. With this shortcut, you can create quick notes for habits like making a shopping list, jotting down ideas, or working on documents.
