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, swipe up from the very bottom of the screen. If your iPhone doesn't have a Home button, swipe from the upper-right corner of the screen to the center.The Control Center screen appears, as shown in Figure 3-5.

2 In the Control Center screen, tap an icon to access and change a setting, or drag a slider to adjust a setting.

3 To hide Control Center, swipe down from the top of Control Center (iPhone with a Home button) or swipe up from the bottom of the screen (iPhone without a Home button).

Some options in Control Center are hidden from initial view but may be accessed by pressing and holding down on an icon in Control Center. For example, use press and hold down on any of the Communications icons (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-down options in Control Center include

 Adjusting the Flashlight brightness level

 Selecting a device for AirPlay

 Setting a quick timer

 Instantly recording a video or taking a selfie

Try pressing and holding down on other icons in Control Center to see what other options are waiting for you to discover. If you hold down on an item and its icon pulses just once, no further options are available for the item.

Did you notice the empty space in Control Center when you opened it? That’s because iOS 15 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 settings, as shown in Figure 3-7.FIGURE 3-7

3 Add or remove items from Control Center:To add an item, tap the + in a green circle to the left of the item. You’ll see the item in Control Center the next time you visit it.To remove an item, tap the − in a red circle to the left of the item, and then tap the Remove button that appears to the right.

Remember to press and hold down on an item to see if the item has any extras. If the item just bounces when you press and hold down, no further options are available.
