Control Center is a one-stop screen for common features and settings, such as connecting to a network, increasing screen brightness or volume, and even turning the built-in flashlight on or off. Here's how to use it:

1 To display Control Center with iPhones that have Home buttons, swipe up from the very bottom of the screen. For iPhones without Home buttons, access Control Center by swiping from the upper-right corner of the screen to the center. The Control Center screen appears.

2 In the Control Center screen, tap a button or tap and drag a slider to access or adjust a setting (see Figure 3-5).FIGURE 3-5

3 After you make a change, swipe the top of Control Center down to hide the screen.

Some options in Control Center are hidden from initial view, but may be accessed by pressing-and-holding (using slightly more force than a typical tap) a button in Control Center. For example, use press-and-hold on any of the Communications buttons (Airplane Mode, Cellular Data, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth) to reveal two more options: AirDrop and Personal Hotspot (as shown in Figure 3-6).

Other press-and-hold options in Control Center include

 Adjust the Flashlight brightness level.

 Select a device for Airplay.

 Set a quick timer.

 Instantly start recording video or take a selfie.

Try pressing-and-holding other buttons in Control Center to see what other options are waiting for you to discover. If you press-and-hold an item and its icon just bounces, there are no further options available for the item.

Did you notice the large amount of empty space in Control Center when you opened it? That’s because iOS 14 allows you to customize Control Center (a feature I love). All that extra space is waiting to be filled by you:

1 Tap Settings.

2 Tap Control Center to open the Control Center screen (shown in Figure 3-7).FIGURE 3-7

3 Add or remove items from Control Center:To remove an item, tap the red circle with the “-” to the left, and then tap the Remove button that appears to the right.To add an item, tap the green circle with the “+” to the left. You’ll see the item in Control Center the next time you visit it. Remember to use press-and-hold to find any extras for the item. If the item just bounces when you press-and-hold, there are no further options.
