You’ve probably seen your iPhone’s Control Center hundreds of times.
It’s the place where you turn on Airplane Mode or activate your screen rotation lock.
There are plenty of buttons for you to use in the Control Center – but you can add even more.
You may want to add the Stopwatch, a quick-start for Low Power Mode, or a Shazam button to quickly recognize songs.
Getting to your Control Center is different depending on your iPhone model.
On an iPhone with Face ID, swipe down from the top-right edge of the screen.
For an iPhone with a Home button, swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
Here’s the full list of available Control Center controls in alphabetical order:

It’s also possible to re-order the Included Controls by tapping and dragging the hamburger icon (three horizontal lines) to the right of the buttons.
