New Control Center feature update rolling out for global Honor smartphones

Honor has started pushing a range of software features for its global smartphones including the new control center and notification panel.

Numerous tipsters informed us that Honor has released a new MagicOS software version for Honor phones. The new update adds Instant Movie, and Control Center, improves document scanning experience in Magic Text, and optimizes system compatibility with some third-party apps. The update also integrates the latest security patches for improved data safety.

The second package of this software update shows the new Honor Connect capability. This seems to be something like a smart device manager.

Control Center:

Since May 2023, Honor has been working on this update for the Chinese smartphones. The feature was released first for the corresponding users in June and expanded over the past three months for various models.

The main aim of the new control center is to simplify the user interface. Looking at the design, new control center parts into different sections. This allows the user to reach a specific options in an organized structure.

For example, the wireless section is added on top, followed by music playback and sliders for brightness and sound. Next up is the quick settings menu and below you will see the smart device connection.

The notification is also separated from the control panel, giving a clean notification management experience. You can now access the entire notification via a swipe down from the top left of the screen.

Gradual rollout:

Some of the tipsters noted that they’ve not received such features with a new software release. This indicates that the Honor control center feature is part of a gradual global rollout. Therefore, it may take some to reach your model. However, you can also head towards the settings menu to look for a new firmware manually.
