How To Quickly Change Wi-Fi Networks Right From Control Center

With iOS 13 Apple has finally made it possible for iPhone and iPad users to quickly change Wi-Fi networks through the Control Center. The iOS Control Center has the toggle for controlling Wi-Fi from the beginning however its functionality was limited to enabling and disabling the Wi-Fi feature only. To do anything else you were forced to open the Wi-Fi section of the Settings app.

Starting iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 on the iPad, users will be able to connect to new Wi-Fi networks and switch between previously connected networks right from the Control Center screen.
