Once the options are displayed we will see a lot of buttons. Buttons that we can remove or rearrange and also add new ones from the <em>Settings<\/em> app by entering <em>Control Center<\/em>.

Also, once these are displayed or directly on other buttons that are not part of these two squares, we can press and hold to see even more options. Options such as choosing which Wi-Fi network we want to connect to, which Bluetooth device to link to, or the brightness level of the flashlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We may not initially think of it, but where we can also press and hold to access more controls is <strong>on the volume and brightness sliders<\/strong>. In the first we are offered to activate noise cancellation or transparency mode of our AirPods, while in the second activate or deactivate True Tone, Night Shift or the dark mode of the device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without pretending to list here all the options offered by the Control Center by pressing and holding on the buttons and controls that we find, what we do intend is that we keep in mind that many of them offer more than what is seen.
