iOS 11: Suggesting A better Control Center

A quicker way to connect to everything!

After updating to iOS 11 this week, I’m pretty impressed. Nothing too overwhelming different, but Apple seem to have resolved a lot of minor annoyances from iOS 10. 👍

One of my favourite new features is the ability to customise the Control Center. I’m particularly loving adding quick access to alarms (which I change a lot) rather than timer (which I never used).

But, Control Center could be so much better! 😢

For example, try connecting to a new WiFi network

If you try to do this just through Control Center it’s impossible, you’ll hit a dead end.

Force touching on the WiFi icon just means more “connection” options. With only the ability to turn these on/off. Useful. True. But I’d still want to quickly connect to something new, just as much as I want to turn on/off.
