As you read the rest of this book, you'll see that your iPhone is rightly called a “Swiss Army phone” because it's positively bristling with useful tools. However, unlike the easy‐to‐access tools in a typical Swiss Army knife, the tools on your iPhone aren't always so readily accessible. Most features and settings require several taps, which doesn't sound like much, but it can get old fast with features you use frequently.

Fortunately, iOS aims to solve that problem by offering the Control Center. This is a special screen that offers one‐flick access to more than a dozen of the most useful features on your iPhone. By “one‐flick access” I mean just this:

 If your iPhone has a notch at the top, flick down from the top‐right edge of the screen (as pointed out in Figure 1.11).

 For all other iPhones, flick your finger up from the bottom of the screen.

This displays the Control Center, as shown in Figure 1.11, which also points out what each icon and control represents. (Depending on your iPhone model and the version of iOS it's running, you might see more or fewer icons than shown here.) Most of these features are covered elsewhere in the book, so I won't go into the details here. To hide the Control Center, tap any empty section of the Control Center screen.
