iOS 18.1 should bring a standalone Satellite toggle to the iPhone’s Control Center
The upcoming iOS 18.1 update should refine the iPhone’s redesigned Control Center with a standalone satellite connectivity toggle providing faster access to the feature.
iOS 18.0 brought a revamped Control Center with a custom layout, multiple pages, a bunch of new controls and more. Like before, toggles like Airplane Mode, Personal Hotspot, Cellular Data, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and VPN are bundled in a special group called Connectivity. Still, you could use Cellular Data and Bluetooth separately.
The upcoming iOS 18.1 update should refine the Control Center. Earlier iOS 18.1 betas already gained separate controls for Wi-Fi and VPN. Aaron Perris noted on X that iOS 18.1 beta 6 will gain a separate Satellite toggle. If true, AirDrop will be the only module in the Connectivity group that is unavailable as a separate toggle.
Faster access to satellite connectivity will be helpful in case of an emergency instead of fumbling through the available toggles in the Connectivity group.
iOS 18.1: A separate Satellite toggle in the Control Center
This toggle is only availalbe on iPhones that support satellite connectivity, which includes the iPhone 14 family and newer. Furthermore, people living in countries with unsupported satellite features won’t see the Satellite control.
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is preparing to release iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1 and macOS Sequoia on Monday, October 28. The updates will bring the first batch of Apple Intelligence features and under-the-hood tweaks.
We’ve covered some of the changes in iOS 18.1, like a proper watchlist in the TV app, the ability to reset the Control Center to factor layout, drag and drop in iPhone Mirroring, hiding the option to disable AirPods noise cancellation, and switching to the selfie camera using the new Camera Control on the iPhone 16 lineup.
