Anyway ... iPhone 11 with shortcuts to properly turn on/off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi:
Second screen showing my Philips Hue bulbs (I don't have that many), with the torch icons being shortcuts to turn on some Ikea spotlights which are connected to my Hue hub but aren't Homekit compatible: The power icon is also a shortcut that turns every light off (as otherwise the Ikea ones stay on).

how did you do that? please explain. i need bluetooth on/ off not connect/ disconnect.
thanks!!
For those asking about apps: some, like Timelines, appear natively in the new CC menu. Others, like Settings, scroll down to Shortcuts and there are 2 options — one is Shortcuts, the second is to open an app. Just click on that and choose the app you want to launch.
That's nice...
Turning off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi on Control Center since iOS 11 is only disconnecting and not fully turning them off... You have to go to Settings then turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi there instead...
Yep. To be fair, I don't think it makes much difference, but it makes me feel happy!
how does that shortcut work? is it on and off on the same toggle for bluetooth?
Keeping it simple, for now.
I am thrilled to have this level of customization, my Settings, and easier access to VPN on Control Center.

yes, but it wont disable it. it just cuts the connection. that's why a shortcut is needed.
I had to reduce it back to one page. The muscle memory of swiping up anywhere to dismiss is too strong.
Several apps are rolling out updates with added support for control center, so it's just a matter of time. Meanwhile you can circumvent using Shortcuts.
As has been pointed out earlier, the new CC has an actual "run app" option. No need to mess around with shortcuts.
That shortcut just changes the hdmi on the tv. Switches the reciever input. Doesn’t actually turn on the system. The controller does that
Interesting, doesn’t your tv support that happening automatically? If I turn on my PS5, or Apple TV, the tv automatically switches to the appropriate hdmi
Is your Reboot shortcut any different from the Power icon in the upper right corner?
