随着 iOS 11 的推出,Apple终于允许用户自定义控制中心(Control Center)面板功能,让您可以快速访问 iPhone 或 iPad 上一些最受欢迎的选项和功能。
尽管如此,在真正的Apple时尚中,您实际上可以更改的内容是有限的。例如,您可以删除一些控件,如手电筒、计时器、计算器相机等,但不能移动顶部的项目,也不能删除顶部的默认选项集,如音乐,亮度控制、音量控制等
此外,您可以添加的项目只能从Apple创建的预定义项目列表中选择。其中包括Apple TV Remote、请勿打扰(Disturb)、便笺(Notes)、钱包(Wallet)和文本大小(Text Size)等控件。
iOS 中的访问控制面板
在 iPhone X 之前的 iPhone 上,从屏幕底部向上滑动以访问 iOS控制面板(Control Panel)。在 iPhone X 上,移除物理按钮后,向上滑动是新的菜单按钮点击。相反,控制中心(Control Center)是通过从右上角向下滑动来打开的。
默认控制面板快捷方式
iOS控制面板(Control Panel)是 iPhone 上许多功能的快捷方式,我每天都会使用几次。例如:
- 使用 AirPlay(Use AirPlay) (屏幕镜像)通过Apple TV将内容从设备无线流式传输到HDTV
- 触发手电筒的最快方法
- 调高或调低声音;使屏幕变亮或变暗
- 开始和停止音乐
- 启动计时器或设置闹钟
- 将设备置于飞行模式
但是,在 iOS 11 中,现在允许用户自定义显示在其控制面板底部两行的内容。
如何自定义控制面板
要开始使用,请点击设备上的设置(Settings)并下拉以显示搜索框。
有这么多设置需要排序,搜索功能实际上非常有用,可以节省您的时间。开始(Start)在搜索字段中输入单词自定义(customize),您应该会在顶部看到自定义(Customize Controls)控制中心( Control Center)的控件。
显示在顶部的控件是当前包含在您的控制面板(Control Panel)中的控件。要删除控件,只需点击最左侧的红色减号。要重新排列控件的顺序,请点击并拖动最右侧的三行。
现在向下滚动自定义控件(Customize Controls)屏幕。在更多控件(More Controls)下,您将看到所有可包含的控件。因此,您现在将看到用于添加控件的绿色加号图标,而不是用于删除已包含控件的红色减号图标。触摸绿色加号将其中之一添加到您的控制中心面板(Control Center Panel)。
为了演示,这里有两个屏幕截图。首先(First),我的默认控制面板(Control Panel);然后我触摸了Apple TV Remote(Apple TV Remote)项目旁边的绿色加号,第二个屏幕截图显示了添加到包含(Include)列表底部的新控件。
现在Apple TV Remote控件在“设置”(Settings)中显示为包含的控件,您可以立即检查它是否已添加。只需(Just)从底部向上滑动(或在 iPhone X 上向下滑动),新添加的控件就会显示在新行中。
请注意,控制面板顶部块中的标准控件可能不会被删除或重新排序,而屏幕镜像和亮度/声音控件下方的底部行是可以添加和重新排序控件的位置。对于初学者,这里有几个我发现有用的附加控件。
苹果电视遥控器
iPhone 上的 Remote 应用(The Remote app)代替Apple TV 遥控器,让输入应用登录信息变得更加容易,例如使用语音登录Netflix帐户。(Netflix)
笔记
该控件直接打开一个新的注释进行编辑。如果您经常在 iPhone 上使用笔记(Notes on your iPhone),这比寻找应用程序、启动它并点击创建新笔记要快得多。
屏幕录制
如果您发现自己经常想向朋友发送 iPhone 提示并且您需要记录您正在做的事情,那么与需要将设备连接到Mac的老式方法相比,屏幕录制(Screen Recording)控件提供了一个惊人的快捷方式。
放大镜
此控件适用于需要放大帮助的年长用户,甚至是试图读取小到不可思议的序列号的年轻人。作为 iOS 中辅助技术工具套件的一部分(Part),此控制中心快捷方式可让您免于浏览设置(Settings)应用程序。
无论如何,尝试使用这些添加的控件来找出对您最有用的控件。如果您有任何问题,请发表评论。享受!
How to Customize the Control Center Panel in iOS
Wіth the introduction of iOS 11, Applе finally allowed users to custоmize the Control Center panel feature that lets you quickly accеss some of the most popular options аnd features on your iPhone оr iPad.
Still, in true Apple fashion, you are limited in what you can actually change. For example, you can remove a couple of the controls like the flashlight, timer, calculator camera, etc., but you can’t move the top items around and you can’t delete the default set of options at the top like music, brightness control, volume control, etc.
Also, the items you can add can only be chosen from a predefined list of items that Apple has created. These include controls like Apple TV Remote, Do Not Disturb, Notes, Wallet, and Text Size.
Access Control Panel in iOS
On iPhones prior to iPhone X, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to access the iOS Control Panel. On the iPhone X, with the removal of the physical button, swiping up is the new menu button click. Instead, Control Center is opened by swiping down from the top right.
Default Control Panel Shortcuts
The iOS Control Panel is a shortcut to many things on your iPhone and I use it several times a day. For example:
- Use AirPlay (screen mirroring) to wirelessly stream content from a device to a HDTV via Apple TV
- Quickest way to trigger the flashlight
- Turn sound up or down; brighten or darken screen
- Start and stop music
- Start a timer or set an alarm
- Put device into Airplane Mode
However, in iOS 11, the user is now allowed to customize what appears in the bottom two rows of their control panel.
How to Customize the Control Panel
To get started, tap on Settings on your device and pull down to reveal the search box.
With so many settings to sort through, the search feature actually is very useful and will save you time. Start typing the word customize into the search field and you should see Customize Controls for Control Center at the top.
The controls that show up at the top are the ones that are currently included in your Control Panel. To remove a control, simply tap on the red minus on the far left. To rearrange the order of the controls, tap and drag the three lines at the far right.
Now scroll down the Customize Controls screen. Under More Controls, you’ll see all the controls that are available to include. So instead of the red minus icons to remove the controls already included, you’ll now see green plus icons to add the controls. Touch the green plus to add one of these to your Control Center Panel.
To demonstrate, here are two screenshots. First, my default Control Panel; I then touched the green plus next to the Apple TV Remote item and the second screenshot shows the new control added to the bottom of the Include list.
Now that the Apple TV Remote control shows in Settings as an included control, you can instantly check to see if it was added. Just swipe up from the bottom (or down on iPhone X) and the newly added control will show up in a new row.
Note that the standard controls in the top blocks of the control panel may not be removed or reordered, while the bottom rows, below screen mirroring and brightness/sound controls, are where controls may be added and reordered. For starters, here are several added controls that I’ve found useful.
Apple TV Remote
The Remote app on your iPhone acts in place of your Apple TV remote, making it easier to enter app login information, like logging into your Netflix account using your voice.
Notes
This control directly opens a new Note for editing. If you often use Notes on your iPhone, this is much faster than hunting for the app, launching it, and tapping to create a new note.
Screen Recording
If you find yourself often wanting to send iPhone tips to friends and you need to record what you are doing, the Screen Recording control provides an amazing shortcut compared to the old-fashioned way of doing this, which required connecting your device to your Mac.
Magnifier
This control is for older users who need magnification help, or even younger folks trying to read an impossibly small serial number. Part of the suite of assistive technology tools in iOS, this control center shortcut saves you from digging through the Settings app.
By all means, experiment with these added controls to find which ones are most useful to you. If you have any questions, post a comment. Enjoy!
