Who knew there were so many different things that you could learn about a phone??? Surely not me! But I do endeavor to stay on top of things, and so I scrounge around and find different things I can use that I never knew existed! And lucky you! I am going to share them with you! Not all at once, of course, but a little bit here and a little bit there. We older folks need more time to let these things settle in sometimes. So, let&#8217;s get started, shall we?<\/p>\n<p>The Control Center &#8211; what is it and why do we need it? More importantly, <strong>HOW<\/strong> do we use it??<\/p>\n<p>The Control Center on your iPhone is a panel that can be quickly accessed and opened by swiping down from your <strong>top-right corner<\/strong>, which provides you with immediate access to all of your frequently used settings and tools (i.e., Wi-Fi, brightness, volume, flashlight, and media controls). It is highly and easily customizable, which means that it will allow you to add, remove, and rearrange controls for your favorite apps and features, even third-party app controls and organized pages for different categories. Ok, now that we have that out of the way, let&#8217;s go a bit deeper. Let&#8217;s actually try something! First and foremost, you should know that you can access your Control Center from <strong>anywhere<\/strong> on your iPhone, including your <strong>Lock screen<\/strong> and when you are inside an <strong>app<\/strong>.\u00a0 I know, sounds scary, huh? We will cover that another day.<\/p>\n<p>Follow the steps below to learn how:<\/p><div id=\"daves-4209750631\" class=\"daves-single-post-in-content\" style=\"margin-bottom: 25px;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7205184075006101\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7205184075006101\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"2700504761\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"false\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<ol>\n<li>Open your Control Center by swiping down from the top right corner of your screen to open it.<\/li>\n<li>Tap a control to turn a feature either on or off.<\/li>\n<li>Touch and hold a control to open a large menu of options.<\/li>\n<li>Swipe up or down between different pages of control.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>That&#8217;s enough for a start.
