ACTION CENTER

Just like Android’s notification shade and iOS’ Notification Center, Action Center is a swipe-down-from-the-top panel that houses notifications for apps and settings. Notifications can be silently added, updated and deleted in Action Center, and they’re viewable even when the phone is locked. Above the collection of toast and app notifications is a bar with four user-configurable ‘quick actions’ (i.e., shortcuts) for easy turning on and off of system settings like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Camera, Flight Mode, Internet Sharing, Location, Rotation Lock, and more.

Action Center lets you see notifications from any app, and a way to quickly access settings.
