How to bring Screen Mirroring back to the Control Center

The iPhone 15 Pro’s Action Button has one small cost in Control Center.

The Screen Mirroring button in iOS 17 for iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max users has been removed from Control Center and replaced by a mute switch. Here’s how to get it back.

iPhone users may be used to seeing the Screen Mirroring button near the top left of their Control Center. In the past it has been a wide button that even said the words “screen mirroring,” but it was reduced down to just a standard-sized button next to the toggle for locking screen rotation just last year.

But, you may not care to set the Action Button to something other than mute and therefore have no real use for an on-screen replacement. Or, you may just want the Screen Mirroring button back in your Control Center for quick access to casting your screen onto another device.

Unfortunately, there’s no way to return the button to its original placement within the Control Center. In turn, there’s also no way to take the mute button out of the Control Center.
