iOS 18 revamps Control Center by allowing you to rearrange, resize, and remove buttons, access a gallery of controls, and add multiple screens, moving away from the single-screen layout of recent years. In this article, we’ll show you how to create dedicated pages for different types of controls, such as connectivity, HomeKit devices, and accessibility options.

The new Control Center comes with several pre-configured standard pages that you can freely customize, add to, or remove. The system can accommodate up to 15 separate screens and offers unprecedented flexibility compared to previous iOS versions.

Navigating between these pages is easy. You can swipe up and down in Control Center, tap small icons on the right side of the display, or press and hold these icons and scroll through for quick access. The following steps explain how to add more pages to your Control Center.

1. Swipe down from the top right corner of the screen to launch Control Center.
2. Tap the circle icon at the bottom of the icon list, which indicates a new blank page.
3. Knock Adding a control to open the control gallery.
4. Use the search box at the top or scroll through the controls with a finger to find the control you want to insert on the page, then tap it.
   
5. Drag your finger on the corner anchor to expand the control if needed.
6. When you’re done, tap anywhere on the page to exit edit mode.
   

Control Center intelligently assigns icons to each page based on its content. When controls exceed the available space on a page, or when a resized control becomes too large, Control Center automatically creates a new page and moves the excess controls. Note that the option to create a new page only appears when an existing page is about half full. This ensures there is enough space between icons and maintains a clean, uncluttered layout.

“iOS 18” and iPadOS 18 are currently in beta and are expected to be generally released in mid-September.
