How to reset control center in ios 18

if you’re worried about after deleting the long buttons with the wlan bluetooth and etc.

just add the bundled up buttons(wlan, bluetooth, mobile, etc.) from connectivity on a new page

then press a blank space a while to edit, you should be able to see a little drag sign from the bottom left corner of that bundle connectivity, drag to the full size(drag vertically or diagonally, just dragging horizontally doesn’t do much) and you’ll get it back :)

hope this helps

i also panicked after deleting the third one that was taking forever to close

Swandy, there is no specific option to reset the control center using the settings. What you could do is customize your control center, and press "add a control" and slide it down until you add that "third screen" that you accidentally deleted. Another not recommended option is to reset the system settings, which would restore the control center to the preset values, Wi-Fi settings, Brightness, Sound, among other options. I hope I have answered your question 😉.

Swandy,

I just did the same thing. Completely deleted my music and connectivity screens/pages. I found a few sources recommending a full settings reset, which I didn’t want to do, or vague and unclear suggestions on how to re-add full page controls.

Luckily, I figured it out. Here’s what I did:

1. Long press a blank space in the control center to open edit mode.
2. Swipe your finger up to open a blank page (the control center shows a small circle on the right side).
3. Click “Add a Control” at the bottom of the page.
4. My default second screen was music. Search add controls for “now playing”. Add that. It will add the default 2x2 size now playing control.
5. While still in edit mode, drag the lower right corner of the now playing control to the bottom right of the screen. It should now cover the entire page.
6. Repeat steps 3-5, but instead of now playing, add “connectivity”. Drag that 2x2 control (which is the same that’s included on the favorites screen by default) all the way to the bottom right of the screen/page.
7. Done! My control center is back to normal, with my favorites on page 1, music on page 2, and detailed connectivity on page 3. It also re-added the small music and connectivity icons back to the right side of the control center; same as the default control center on a fresh iOS18 update.

Hope this helps you or anyone else who made the same mistake I did.
