Is there a way to add word labels to the symbols in Control Centre? (Trying to move my Mum over from Android so I can help her with it, but she can’t remember what all the symbols mean (Already spent years trying to learn them-it’s not happening)(Android phone has labels as well as symbols)
Many Thanks.
iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 15
EL ~ Which Control Centre controls does your Mum frequently use? ...Because simple custom shortcuts in Apple's Shortcuts app can probably control some of those. Then you have the option to have big "widget shortcut" buttons on the home screen to control, say, Cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. Or you could have just a single, big button which displays a menu of controls along with clear word labels. To give you an idea of the possibilities, on my Home screen I have this big "widget shortcut" button I've called Out & About:
...When tapped, it shows this menu – you can see that I can control Cellular & Wi-Fi from here:
And besides the single, big "widget shortcut" button, 4 & 8 button panels can be chosen:
Use widgets on your iPhone and iPod touch

The Control Center symbols/icons cannot be named or have a name displayed next to them.
I recommend that you suggest this feature directly to Apple by leaving a product feedback here 👉 Product Feedback - Apple

Good idea 👍
Apple really do need to give at least the option though, some people just can’t ’do’ symbols! & for the rest of us, the sheer volume of them ends us up scratching our heads trying to remember, right?!
You may also want to eliminate everything from the Control Center that can be eliminated, at least for now.
Thank you. I actually did a few years ago… it seems they listened 🤣🥴
Bravo Alancito !
