TLDR: The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max have replaced the Screen Mirroring button in the Control Center with the Action Button. Users can bring back the Screen Mirroring button by customizing their Control Center settings and adding the "Screen Recording" control. However, it cannot be placed in its original location and the mute switch cannot be removed.
The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max have introduced a new feature called the Action Button, which has resulted in the removal of the Screen Mirroring button from the Control Center in iOS 17. This change has left many users wondering how to get the Screen Mirroring button back.
Previously, iPhone users would find the Screen Mirroring button near the top left of their Control Center. However, with the release of the iPhone 15 Pro models, this button has been replaced by a mute switch. This decision was made because of the removal of the physical mute switch in favor of the Action Button. While this change provides a software-based alternative for setting the new button to something other than mute, it may not be useful for everyone.
If you still wish to have quick access to screen mirroring through your Control Center, there is a way to reinsert the Screen Mirroring button. However, it’s important to note that you cannot return it to its original placement within the Control Center. Additionally, you cannot remove the mute switch from the Control Center either.
To bring back the Screen Mirroring button, follow these steps:
1. Open your device’s Settings.
2. Scroll down and tap on “Control Center.”
3. On this screen, you will see various options and sections. Look for “Customize Controls” and tap on it.
4. You will now see two columns: “Include” and “More Controls.” In the “More Controls” section, locate “Screen Recording.”
5. Tap on “+” next to “Screen Recording.” This action will add it to your included controls.
6. Once added, go back to your home screen or swipe up from the bottom (depending on your device model) to access Control Center.
7. The Screen Mirroring button should now be visible.
By following these steps, you can regain access to screen mirroring in your Control Center for quick and easy casting of your screen onto another device.
In conclusion, while the removal of the Screen Mirroring button may have caused some inconvenience for iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max users, there is still a way to bring it back. By customizing your Control Center settings, you can reinsert the Screen Mirroring button and continue enjoying this feature on your device.
