How To Add iOS Control Center Shortcuts To Your Tesla App
To add Tesla shortcuts to the Control Center on your mobile device, swipe down from the top-right corner of the screen. Then, press and hold on an area of the screen without an existing icon until ‘Add a Control’ appears at the bottom of the screen.
Tap ‘Add a Control,” then type ‘Tesla’ in the search bar to pull up the available shortcuts, and tap on the one you want to add. If you have more than one Tesla vehicle on your account, you can also select which vehicle the shortcut applies to. You can then expand the shortcut to cover two icon spaces to display the vehicle’s name.
Once everything has been set up, simply swipe down from the top-right corner of the screen like you did above to access and use the shortcuts.
Here’s a quick video we shared on X yesterday (follow us for the latest updates) showing you how to do it. Which shortcuts are you adding? Let us know in the comments below.
