One such thing is the line under the cell signal, Wi-Fi, and battery icons on the lock screen.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first mysterious thing to appear in this region of the iPhone screen. iOS 14 and iPad OS 14 introduced little green and orange dots to indicate when apps are using the camera and microphone.

You can think of it like the handle at the bottom of the lock screen for swiping up.<\/p>\n<p>The Control Center is a special menu that contains toggles for things such as Airplane Mode, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. It can also be used for shortcuts to the flashlight, QR code scanner, calculator, and much more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Use Control Center on Your iPhone or iPad<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_a_Privacy_Feature\"><\/span>It\u2019s a Privacy Feature<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The line has a second purpose that may be even more important. It\u00a0doesn\u2019t just show where the Control Center is, it indicates that the Control Center <em>can<\/em> be opened from the lock screen.\u00a0Why is that important? If you see that line, anyone can open the Control Center, even if the iPhone is locked.
