It used to be that the air drop icon would appear if I choose the setting. But now the Air drop icon is only available when I press on Bluetooth. How do I get the icon to display in the main control panel screen?
iPhone XS, iOS 12
AirDrop is not an individual icon in Control Center any longer. The only way to access it is through force pressing the Bluetooth icon. If you wish to provide feedback to Apple regarding the change, use this link, Feedback - iPhone - Apple

To make it appear you need to press and hold the network card (top-left).
See the guide I posted at section "Quickly control settings and use apps".

That's by design. See this support guide:--> Use and customize Control Center on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

I don't use Airdrop, and perhaps I didn't noticed how was Control Center when it was released.
But now, I don't see any way to have that icon directly available on CC main screen. You can "unhide" it using the method provided in the support guide (that you already knew).

I don't think you're understanding me.
I know how to press the card. But I thought that once I opened Air Drop it would then appear in the main air drop screen
I believe I used to be able to add the icon by using "Settings > Customize Controls" to add the icon to the main Control Settings screen.
But Air Drop isn't listed.
Do you see what I mean?
But previously I used to have six icons on the left corner now I only have four.
Are you saying they removed the air drop icon from the control center main screen?
Ok. Now that we've established what I need, just to show it can be done on the iPad, here is my iPad Control Center screen.
Now how do I get this on the iPhone?
To my knowledge, you don't.
