In iOS 17, the Control Center may be getting a new design, and it's about time.

Here's how to easily customize Control Center on your Apple Watch!

The iPhone’s Control Center is pretty awesome. With a swipe-up from the top of the screen, you can access a bunch of handy shortcuts for features that are otherwise buried deeper. You can toggle Bluetooth on and off, control your music playback, monitor and control some home automation features, and even launch certain apps. According to insider reports, Apple is planning a major redesign of Control Center for iOS 17, due out this fall after a summer of beta testing. So how could Apple improve it?

“One of the biggest issues I have with Control Center is the lack of customization options. Sure, it’s great to have easy access to common settings like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Airplane Mode, but I’d like to be able to add or remove toggles based on my personal preferences. This would allow me to tailor Control Center to my specific needs, making it even more useful,” Victoria Mendoza, CEO of MediaPeanut, told Lifewire via email.

First, let’s look at what Control Center is good for and where it falls short. The biggest problems with Control Center on the iPhone and iPad, based on a quick survey (aka asking people I know who use Apple devices), are that it doesn’t do enough and that the things that are there are hard to customize.
