Apple’s upcoming iOS 17 release, expected to be announced at the Worldwide Developers Conference 2023 (WWDC 2023), is shaping to be a significant update for the mobile operating system. In addition to performance and stability improvements, recent reports suggest that iOS 17 will also bring major updates to the Control Center feature.
The Control Center is accessed by swiping down from the top-right corner of the iPhone or iPad display, giving users quick access to important settings in the form of toggles. While the exact details of the updates are unclear, MacRumors reports that the revamped Control Center will be one of the more prominent changes in iOS 17.
The Control Center feature was first introduced with iOS 7 and has remained largely the same in functionality over the years. However, the feature received a significant update with the introduction of 3D Touch on the iPhone 7 series in iOS 10, adding more functionality layers to the available toggles.
With iOS 11, the Control Center became accessible via a swipe down from the top-right corner of the display, alongside the display notch or the recently introduced Dynamic Island. The feature was also added to Macs with the macOS Big Sur software update.
In addition to the Control Center updates, previous reports suggest that iOS 17 will support much-requested features, such as the ability to install and use alternative app stores on supported devices. However, some older devices may not receive the update, and the WWDC 2023 event will mostly be an online event with limited in-person attendance.
Overall, iOS 17 is shaping up to be a significant update for Apple’s mobile operating system, with improvements to both performance and functionality. The revamped Control Center is expected to be one of the more prominent changes in the update, with details to be revealed at the WWDC 2023 event. With support for much-requested features and improved stability, iOS 17 is sure to be eagerly awaited by Apple users worldwide.
