The airplay and airdrop buttons take up too much space in the control center. This space would be more useful if it was the music app. I do not currently have any use for airplay or air drop and would really like to be able to hide these buttons.
iOS 10
iPhone 6, iOS 10.0.2

Why?
In iOS 10 swipe the Control Centre left and you have the whole control centre for Music.
mainly because of how much space those buttons are taking up. Since these are not something I intend on using it does. It make sense to have them in an area that is for quick accessing of frequently used apps.
Im happy with where he current music thing is. However if anything it would make more sense to have the music controls on the first page instead of having to swipe.

What makes sense to you may not make sense to million others.
As always, you can send feedback to Apple by following the link in Meg's post.

I don't see an issue here. You just need to swipe once for Music.
Next time when you use the control centre again the Music is still there without swiping.
The music app functionality is not my issue here. I like the way it is currently implemented.
My question is if it is possible to hide the airplay and airdrop buttons.
Or better yet, if we will ever be granted the ability to customize the priority that the buttons show up on this control center.

Ok.
No. FWIW I like it as it is.
Tell Apple using the feedback link.
If there're millions of request, Apple may change it?
I am not intending on being confusing. I've just re-read the order that the posts have been posted. It seems I may of been typing my reply as other messages were coming in.
It is probably wishful thinking that the ability to customize this control center had already been implemented. We can control what the top widget displays to make it useful for the end users. Hopefully this control center will one day be customizable too. We are all different and prefer things differently. If we were given the ability to choose for ourselves would that not make everyone happy?
I have submitted my feed back as recommended. Thank you all for the replies.

That has never really been the way Apple does things.
I really like the new Control Center set up.
This is the reason I was reluctant to get me an iPhone in the first place. When I now do have iPhone, I find that in most cases, the way Apple has made it is intuitive and user friendly, but there are things like this that still annoys me that is not able to hide away. I have no AirPlay supported media devices, and have never used AirDrop (I have had the iPhone for 3 years now...)
A related thing is the pre-installed apps. This is now finally possible to remove in iOS10, which is great.

As I understand it, they're not actually removed, just hidden. But, as long as it makes people happy....
Just wanted to add I would also like to be able to remove airplay and airdrop from the control center. They look ugly and even disabled in restrictions or set to off via control center looks horrible and says receiving even though is off, just horrible. I know another swipe gets you the music controls which is nice, but I hate these two using up so mauch space for no purpose for me. To me it is nearly as much off putting as with an standard google android phone and the google search bar they force on you. Silly things maybe but annoying to me. Just thought I would post in the hope maybe Apple is taking any sort of feedback from here 🙂
I would love to know how to disable the music pane. I never use it and, 9 times out of 10, I end up swiping to the right and accessing the music pane, when all I'm trying to do is decrease the brightness of my screen. The music pane is a worthless annoyance to me.

You cannot. With time, you'll most likely get used to the new set up and will stop pulling it up accidentally.
You can certainly submit feedback to Apple, though, requesting they consider making changes. The link has been provided earlier in the thread.
I agree. I don't use airplay, airdrop or nightshift and they're the largest buttons on control center, and have accidentally hit them several times. I would much rather have a single panel of what I use and want.

Do I really need to say it again.....?
Submit feedback to Apple.
iOS 10 Remove airplay and airdrop from control center.
