iOS had been revamped especially in terms of its control panel with the newer version i.e iOS 11. The newer control panel is minimalistic with just one tab as against multiple on the previous versions and can be dynamically adjusted. However, with Android, all toggles are available in the drop-down of the status bar and with larger screen, accessing them with one hand becomes difficult. Here, the control panel becomes effective and Android being open sourced, it takes less time for developers to recreate it.
So, without wasting much time lets dig into it.
If you prefer iOS 11 control panel then this app is a must try. The design, layout are exactly similar to the one in IPhone and the functionality remains same.
This app is the most closest to that on iOS however, you cannot change the position of toggles although iOS allows you to do so. (Strangely they don't allow you to change position of apps but this :-P)
On downloading the app, you will have to enable some permissions to access every feature. The size, colour, position of the slider can be changed.
You can also choose to change the background colour to either the present wallpaper or default.
The 3D touch feature has somewhat been implemented here as some toggles allow for more dynamic changes. For eg. In brightness profile, you can easily slide to adjust brightness. Similarly, more settings are available in sound profile.
As seen above, 3 different settings for device sound profile, media and system are available.
Apart from the toggles like sound, brightness, WiFi, Bluetooth, screen orientation, etc. shortcuts to apps are also available. However, again you are restricted to just 4 apps.
You can select the app to be opened while selecting the toggle and the best part you can select any app that is available in your device. However, the icon on the panel will remain the same. For eg: icon of clock but app selected is Chrome!!

Now, if you do not prefer the iOS 11 control panel design and rather preferred the previous design and layout then the app below is the way to go!
This layout was present on the iOS 10 and in my opinion it was the best. Everything seems arranged well although Apple had other plans with iOS 11 to keep it simple.
Here, you get a row of toggles with multiple tabs and you can arrange them with ease to your liking.
Below you get the brightness adjustment toggle followed by Music controller, device memory info and a row of apps.
You can easily add the apps that you prefer and arrange them accordingly.
As compared to the previous app, this app has more customization options available.
The area of touch can be adjusted from the app with effective changes in width and height. You can select to display arrow indicator, vibration feedback, lock screen enabling and so on.
The control center is also available in black background and you also get the option to change opacity.
Overall, the app is perfect in it's functionality and based on your usage you can tinker with it.

These were the 2 apps that bring the Control Center of iOS to Android. If you find any other app which excels in functionality then do let us know in the comments below.
The app belongs to the respective developers I am recommending them only after brief usage.
So, without wasting much time lets dig into it.
