Control Center Changes

The iOS 14 Control Center is gaining a few new options, including toggles for the new Sound Recognition Accessibility feature and enabling Sleep Mode.

The latter option will darken the screen and enable Do Not Disturb, presumably triggering the “Wind Down” feature that Apple spoke about yesterday when introducing Sleep Tracking for the Apple Watch.

You’ll also now be able to add your favourite HomeKit scenes in the Control Center for quick, one-tap access. While the Home app has been available as its own button for a while, allowing favourite scenes to be brought up with a haptic touch, this will make HomeKit scenes even more easily accessible.
