Control Center is paginated and customizable, with a much wider variety of available controls.

By default, the first page houses a large “ Now Playing ” music and audio widget with AirPlay controls.

Swiping up and down on any empty part of Control Center moves between the pages.

The third is a one -stop shop for toggling connectivity features like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular, AirDrop , airplane mode, and whichever VPN you’re using.

To add a new control, you tap the words “Add a control” at the bottom of the screen.

This brings up a vertically scrollable list of all the controls available, with a search field at the top.

The majority of these controls don’t offer anything of value when you make them bigger.
