Control Center Changes

The same leaker shared a tip last week that iOS 17 may get some significant changes to Control Center. While the original report didn’t say what those were, this latest list suggests a UI redesign with more customizability.

The Control Center has remained pretty static over the past few years, with most elements in fixed positions that the user can’t change. The bottom part allows a selected number of custom controls to be added, removed, or reordered from the Settings app, but there’s no way to do this directly in the Control Center.

Direct customization similar to how the Home Screen works would go a long way to making Control Center more functional, along with the ability to move around every icon. There’s also a possibility that Apple could open up support for third-party apps to drop their own icons in there.
