Today's spotlight shines on the IOS 18's new Control Center. Grab your virtual popcorn and brace yourselves for the grand entrance of the New Control Gallery as we decode the Matrix of iOS 18 features that are sure to catch the eye of Android users.
Android users have been smirking at iPhone users for a while, flaunting their own advanced Control Centers. But now Apple is stepping up its game and bringing some Android flair
So, buckle up, folks, because iOS is throwing in some surprises that might just make those Android users raise an eyebrow or two!
Let's see what surprises iOS 18 has in store for us all.
Control Center and the New Control Gallery
The Control Center has been long overdue for a makeover. The old Control Center was from a bygone era, that was last updated when flip phones were still a thing. But, finally shedding its old look from the iOS 9 or 10 era, the Control Center has caught up with the times.
With the rapid evolution of iOS and the multitude of new features, it was high time for a makeover. With all the fantastic features that have been introduced to iOS over the years, it's high time they have a designated spot in the Control Center. Accessibility and convenience just got a major boost with this exciting update!
Accessing the revamped Control Center remains a breeze, as you can still swipe from the top right corner of your iPhone or iPad screen. The noticeable change is the switch from square to circular individual controls, giving the interface a modern touch and creating a harmonious and user-friendly experience. This change is more than just cosmetic as Apple is cleverly connecting users with a more cohesive visual theme, revolutionizing the way we engage with technology.
Nestled conveniently in the top right corner lies the Power Button, your new best friend for swiftly shutting down your device.
Oh, but wait, there's more!
With iOS 18 Public Beta, Apple has introduced ‘Control Groups’—multiple pages within the Control Center. These bad boys are your go-to for tweaking settings galore. Want to navigate between them? Easy peasy!
You can either tap on the favicon of each Control Group or flaunt your swipe-down tactics with a firm and lengthy press, right from the get-go. So, embrace the Control Center and its entourage, because you're now the maestro of your tech symphony!
If you feel like playing around with Control Center and its fancy new sidekick, the Control Gallery, get ready to feel like a tech-savvy wizard!

No magic wand required—just long-press your way into the Jiggle Mode right beneath the Control Group.
It may sound like a dance move, but trust me, no dancing shoes are needed here.
Once you've entered this enchanting mode, tap 'Add a Control,' opening the doors to a whole new world of possibilities from the sleek and shiny Control Gallery.
What will you choose to amplify your control experience? The power is at your fingertips, so go ahead and let your inner tech maestro shine!
Picture this: resizing a control is now as simple as resizing a widget; just a quick pull on the corner of the control while in the Jiggle Mode of the Control Center. It's like giving your controls a little stretch for that perfect fit.
Who knew organizing your digital space could be this snazzy and effortless?
Android Users - Us. We guess......
Android users knew the joy of resizing controls way before it was cool. We have to admit it.
Rumor has it this new update might turn your iPhone into an Android or a Jailbroken device - scandalous, right?
I know. What a technological thriller.
Although the new Control Center and the Control Gallery are stepping up the game by introducing a sleek dark mode home screen with dark app icons and a striking look, it's currently limited to first-party apps. So, while the asymmetry might throw off your home screen's theme for now, hang tight as third-party app developers catch up to bring you the complete dark mode experience on your favorite apps. The future is looking stylish for iPhone customization!
