How to Change Old Control Center to New Control Center in Redmi 14C [Full Guide]
The Redmi 14C, running MIUI based on Android, offers great performance at an affordable price. However, one of the most noticeable differences users face is the Control Center UI style. If you're seeing the old MIUI-style toggle panel and want the modern, iOS-inspired new Control Center, you're in the right place.
In this article, I’ll guide you step by step on how to switch from the old Control Center to the new one on your Redmi 14C. This method is safe, requires no root access, and works even if you don’t have developer options enabled.
๐ What Is the Difference Between the Old and New Control Center?
| Feature | Old Control Center | New Control Center |
|---|---|---|
| Toggle Style | Simple Grid | Modern Icons with Rounded Cards |
| Notification & Toggles | Combined in One Panel | Separated: Swipe Left for Notifications, Right for Toggles |
| Aesthetic | Classic Android Look | Inspired by iOS Design |
| Brightness Control | Basic Slider | Smooth Animated Slider |
| Shortcut Layout | Static Icons | Dynamic, Animated Layout |
The new Control Center not only looks more modern but also offers faster access to frequently used settings.

There are a few possible reasons:
- MIUI Version: The feature depends on your MIUI version.
- Region Settings: Some regions have this feature disabled by default.
