Control Center can greatly simplify working with the iPhone. In addition to the fact that it contains the basic elements with which nothing can be done, i.e. for example the control of wireless connectivity, music, etc., you can also place optional elements in it. Some of these features are actually very useful and it's a shame that users don't know about them. Therefore, let's take a look together in this article at 5 such useful elements in the iPhone control center that you may not have known about. You can add them in Settings → Control Center.

Code reader

Many new iPhone users head to the App Store shortly after the first launch, looking for an app to read QR codes. But the truth is that the QR code reader is already natively available in iOS, directly in the Camera application, which has this function. But if you still want a special application for reading QR codes, you can add an element to the control center Code reader. When you tap on this element, you will see a simple QR code reader app interface, so you don't need any other third-party app.

Hearing

A very useful feature that some of you may find useful is definitely Hearing. This element hides several different functions that can be used. Specifically, it is Background Sounds, where you can simply activate the playback of various relaxing sounds in the background. Another feature available is Live Listening, where you can use your iPhone as a microphone and let it transmit sound to your AirPods. There is also a Headphone customization section where you can easily turn on or off headphone customization for phone and media.

Music recognition

Surely you have ever found yourself in a situation where you heard a song and wanted to know its name. In today's modern world, we can of course use technology for recognition, namely our iPhone. Each of us can place an element in the control center Music recognition, after pressing which the iPhone starts listening to the surrounding sound and recognizing the song. If it succeeds, you will see the result in the form of the name of the recognized song. If you install the Shazam app, which Apple bought a few years ago, you can see even more information, along with your search history.

Apple TV Remote

Do you own an Apple TV in addition to your Apple phone? If you answered in the affirmative, then you must have already looked for a driver for it at least once. This is because it is very small, so it can easily happen that it simply gets lost in the duvets or in the couch. Alternatively, it has certainly happened to you that you were cozying up to a movie, but you left the remote control lying somewhere on the dresser. However, both of these cases can be easily solved by adding an element to the control center with the name Apple TVRemote. If you add it, you will be able to easily control your Apple TV directly through the iPhone, through the controller that will appear on its display. Personally, I use this element very often, as I am an expert in losing the apple controller.

Land

If you want to zoom in on something using the iPhone's camera, you most likely go to Camera, take a picture, and then zoom in on it in Photos. This is, of course, a functional procedure, in any case, it is not quick and simple. However, did you know that you can add a named item to your iPhone's Control Center She Wolf, which, when clicked, opens a hidden app of the same name? In it, you can zoom in on anything multiple times in real time, or, of course, you can also stop and zoom in on the image in a rest state. There are various other goodies, for example in the form of filters or the ability to adjust brightness and exposure, etc. I can definitely recommend the Magnifier element as well.
