iOS 11 saw major enhancements to Control Center. If you’re not familiar with it, Control Center is the drop-down sheet with shortcut buttons to things like flashlight, camera, timer, Airplane Mode, Bluetooth, AirPlay Mirroring and more.

One anything iPhones older than the iPhone X you access Control Center by swiping up from the bottom of the screen. On the iPhone X, you access it by swiping down on the upper-righthand corner of the display.

Control Center has been a useful tool in iOS for a few generations now. But with iOS 11, Apple allowed users to customize the shortcuts available in Control Center for the first time. This customization made Control Center a much more useful feature.

By default, you’ll see Apple’s chosen shortcuts in Control Center, but in fact, you can add a number of other shortcuts, or remove the ones you don’t use a lot. In all, the shortcuts available to Control Center include all of the following:

Camera, Alarm, Low Power Mode toggle, Notes, Screen Recording, Voice Memos, Wallet, Guided Access, Apple TV Remote, Stopwatch, Flashlight, Calculator, Accessibility Shortcuts, Home, Do Not Disturb While Driving, Magnifier, Timer, and Text Size controls.

Chances are you’ll find some of those very useful to have a quick swipe away, and others you’ll never have a need for. Thankfully, iOS 11 makes it very easy to customize Control Center to best suit your workflow and usage. Here’s how:

1. Launch the Settings app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running iOS 11 or higher.
2. Swipe down and tap Control Center.
3. On the Control Center screen, tap Customize Controls.
4. One the Customize screen you’ll see shortcuts divided into two lists: “included” and “more controls”. The “included” list refers to shortcuts currently in your Control Center and the “more controls” list refers to additional shortcuts you can add.
5. To remove a current shortcut, tap the red mini button and the shortcut will be sent to the “more controls” list and not show up in your Control Center any longer.
6. To add a new shortcut in your Control Center, under the “more controls” header, tap the green plus button next to any shortcut. This will send it to the “included” list, meaning it’s been added to your Control Center.
7. You can also rearrange the order any “included” (aka active) shortcuts appear in Control Center by tapping and holding the grip bars to the right of the shortcut and then moving it up or down the list.
8. Once you are done, simply close the Settings app and your new Control Center layout will be ready to go! And do keep in mind you can always go back to Step #1 at any time to customize Control Center again in the future.
