Why can't I customize Control Center?

Why does Apple keep neglecting the #1 feature revision that would make iPhone use much more quick, logical, and efficient:

*the ability to customize Control Center*!

Why not let users customize Control Center w/ key features from Settings or shortcuts to Apps?

Every iPhone user I know wants this functionality. NOT ONE of dozens of users I've queried on the specifics has *ever* used the default Do Not Disturb, Portrait Orientation Lock, or Calculator buttons in Control Center.

Of *far* greater importance for battery life would be shortcut buttons to toggle Location Services, and Siri on & off. This would make navigating by foot, car, or bicycle far quicker & more efficient: instead of stopping to dig & scroll several layers deep into "Settings," we could simply toggle on Siri & Location services on the fly.

Is there a way to install shortcuts to Siri and Location Services on my Home Screen or Control Center that I'm not aware of?

iPhone 5, iOS 9

Yes now possible to customize control center in iOS. For that must be have iOS 11 or above iPhone/ iPad. I’ve found way to customize swiping up apps shortcut menu from here:https://www.howtoisolve.com/customize-control-center-in-ios-11-iphone/

I understand what you are looking for and really the only thing you can do is use the feedback link that Kilgore-Trout has supplied.

I just wanted to chime in and say that I use the flashlight, calculator, and camera functions from the Control Center all the time. I used the Do Not Disturb button just last night. I use the orientation lock and toggle wi-fi and Bluetooth on and off occasionally as well.

I'm desperate for this too, I'm still on a 5S because with that I can switch Hotspot on and off with one touch, thanks to some 'extra software'. This should be part of the new Control Center.

I also use a tweak to give me an audible warning at 5% battery, then a major warning when it hits 1%. A silent warning at 20% is much too early, and useless when tethered to the iPad!

Could not agree more, and iOS 10 made it worse. Now I get Airplay and Airdrop taking up screen real estate and moving the features I actually use like Airplane mode further for my thumb, so it's not as quick anymore. I honestly did not think it could get worse, but somehow - it did.

What I actually want is remove Airplane mode from there. This way, if someone finds my phone, he can't just activate airplane mode and make my phone unlocatable.

Because of that, Control Center is deactivated from lock screen making it pretty useless for me...
