The Control Center tag on CellularNews collects our guides for customizing and troubleshooting the quick-access panel that lives at the heart of your iPhone and iPad experience. This page is for anyone who wants to take full command of their device’s most-used toggles, from fixing missing buttons to mastering hidden features.
Many of the articles here solve two main kinds of problems: restoring lost or broken controls, and managing your phone’s audio and focus states. For example, if your flashlight has vanished from Control Center, we show you how to get it back. Other guides help you disable Focus, take your phone off Do Not Disturb mode, or put it into DND when you need quiet. On the audio side, you can learn how to switch between speakers and a headset, and why Bluetooth might keep turning on automatically.
Beyond fixes, these articles help you unlock capabilities you might not know your phone has. You can add accessibility features to the Control Center on iOS 13 and iPadOS, measure decibels, or use Shazam to identify a song playing in a video. Screen recording is covered for both the iPhone 14 Plus and the iPhone 11, and we explain what that blue dot at the top of your iPhone 11 screen means. Whether you need to brighten your display or unmirror your phone, these guides give you the direct steps to take control.
