Quick controls
Customise Control Center with these tip.
YOU CAN CHANGE Control Center’s contents in Settings > Control Center > Customise Controls. To use the following shortcuts, apply a firm press if your device has 3D Touch, or hold a finger on the control for a moment.
APPLE TV REMOTE
01 You needn’t reach for your Siri Remote when your iPhone or iPad is at hand. Tap Control Center’s Apple TV button for a touchscreen trackpad and Siri button.
SCREEN RECORDING
02 This is useful for sharing iOS tips and gameplay. Tap it to record to the Camera Roll, or press to pick one of your apps that can broadcast live, such as Facebook.
CAMERA
03 This provides a quick route to take a selfie, record a regular or slo-mo video, or take a portrait photo.
WALLET
04 Wallet’s button provides a shortcut to your default card and, more usefully, an option to check your most recent transaction.
NOTES
05 This button provides a quick way to start a new note in the Notes app containing freeform text, a checklist, a new photo or a sketch.
TIMER
06 If you don't like starting timers by speaking to Siri, this is the next quickest method. Press/hold the button, slide your finger up/down to set a duration, then tap Start.
