The Control Center on Apple Vision Pro gives you quick access to useful controls and features like search, volume, notifications, and more. Here is how you can open the Control Center and customize it to suit your needs:

Open Control Center

To open the Control Center on your Vision Pro:

  1. Look up towards the top of your view. You should see a down arrow icon appear.
  2. Tap near the icon to open Control Center.

The Control Center will then slide down from the top, allowing you to access various controls.

Note: The position of the Control Center icon may vary depending on what you are currently doing in Vision Pro. If you don’t see the icon, keep your head still and look towards the top until it appears.

Customize Control Center Position

You can customize how high or low the Control Center icon appears when you look up:

  1. Go to Settings => Control Center
  2. Use the slider under Control Center Position to set how high or low you want the icon to appear when looking up

Setting the icon position lower means you don’t have to strain your neck looking too high up to open Control Center.
