Apple has added some new features to the Control Center, and also sped up how you can customize it.
The new widgets may get more attention, but Apple hasn’t neglected other extra tools such as Control Center.
If you have any HomeKit devices, you will immediately see a different Control Center, because a selection of them are now included. You get one-tap buttons to turn your HomeKit lights on and off.
The number of Home controls you see depends on your setup, but at most you get one large Home Favorites button and six small ones. Each of those six directly controls one device.
How to choose Home devices for Control Center
- Open the Home app
- Tap on the Home icon at the top left and choose a room
- From the list of accessories in that room, press and hold on one you want
- Tap on the gear icon at the bottom right
- Turn on Include in Favorites
- Tap the X close button
