iOS 18 tip: You can delete Control Center pages, including the music and networking pages. To delete, long press to go into wiggle mode, then remove all widgets from the page you’d like to delete.

If you have only one page, it’s possible to swipe up to dismiss Control Center.

@marcedwards you can swipe to dismiss with multiple pages too… swipe to dismiss is a standard exiting feature to get out of an app, return to homepage from another Home Screen, and to dismiss Notification Center. Swiping the same way to do all those other common actions will desmiss the control center as well. The number of control center pages has 0 bearing on this standard iOS behavior.
@richaesthetic That's only partly true. What you're referring to is a swipe from the bottom of the screen. @marcedwards is referring to the possibility of swiping up *anywhere* on the control center to dismiss it. This stops working with multiple pages, since your up-swipe is then interpreted as a page change and not a dismiss action.
@guyyst @richaesthetic Yeah, I should have been a little clearer. The thing I missed was being able to swipe from anywhere. I like the Control Center changes, but the additional pages weren’t helping much, given you can get to things like networking switches via long pressing the network tile.
