How to Reset Control Center on an iPhone

If you’ve ever gone a little too wild customizing your iPhone’s Control Center, you’re not alone. With iOS 18, Apple gave us way more freedom to move things around, add new pages, resize tiles, and even create completely personalized layouts.

That flexibility is awesome—until it isn’t. After a few rounds of rearranging and testing setups, it’s easy to end up with a Control Center that feels more chaotic than helpful. That’s where the new Reset Control Center feature in iOS 18.1 comes in.

Apple finally made it possible to revert everything back to the default layout with a single tap. No need to manually delete and re-add modules, no full system reset. Just a clean, easy refresh when things get out of hand.
