Revamp Your iPhone Experience: Resetting iOS 18 Control Center Made Simple

Apple Inc.’s recent iOS 18 update has transformed the Control Center on your iPhone, making it more customizable than ever before.

You can now easily add, remove, or rearrange icons and create swipeable screens directly, without needing to navigate through Settings.

However, having so many options might lead to a cluttered interface. If you prefer a clean look, resetting your Control Center is quick and straightforward.

Steps to Reset iOS 18 Control Center

Step I: Open the Control Center

• On iPhones with Face ID: Swipe down from the top-right corner of your screen.
• On iPhones with a Home Button: Swipe up from the bottom of the screen.

Step II: Customize Controls

To start editing, tap the Add button in the top-left corner of the Control Center. This option allows you to rearrange, resize, or remove any existing controls.

You’ll find options to:

• Rearrange Controls: Drag icons to reorder them as you like.
• Resize Controls: Adjust the size using the resize handles provided.
• Remove Controls: Tap the Remove button on any control you wish to delete.

If you’ve made extensive customizations, this is the perfect time to simplify your Control Center.

Step III: Reset to Default

To return the Control Center to its original settings, go to Settings > Control Center. Choose the option to restore the default configuration, which will remove all custom groups and controls.

Helpful Tips

Quick Actions: Many controls provide additional options when you touch and hold them. For example, pressing the Camera icon allows you to quickly choose between taking a selfie, recording a video, or snapping a photo.

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth: Through the Control Center, you can disconnect from Wi-Fi or Bluetooth without fully turning them off, while keeping AirPlay and location services active. For a complete toggle, access Settings > Wi-Fi or Bluetooth instead.
