watchOS 5 lets you rearrange Control Center toggles on your Apple Watch

New in watchOS 5, you can now rearrange toggles in your Apple Watch’s Control Center.

This is the first time Apple Watch wearers can customize the Control Center layout, directly on their wrist. This wasn’t possible before watchOS 5, not on your Apple Watch or in the companion Watch app for that matter.

As evidenced by the screenshot embedded down below, Control Center on watchOS 5 features a brand new Edit button at the bottom. Just swipe up from the bottom of your Apple Watch display to enter Control Center, then scroll down and tap the Edit button.

You can now rearrange the various Control Center toggles to your liking.

There are a number of situations where one might want to use this.

As an example, frequent moviegoers may decide to rearrange the order of the toggles and buttons such as that the Theater Mode button is relocated higher than, say, the Expel Water icon.

Conversely, if you’re the type of person who never uses Theater Mode, you’ll probably want to move that button at the very bottom to make room at the top for your most frequently-used toggles, maybe Do Not Disturb or Battery, for example.

How do you like this nice little addition in watchOS 5?
