The new iOS also brings a new level of customization to Control Center, for which we are introducing five new controls: Assist, Toggle light, Run Script, Activate Scene, and Open Page.

With these options, you can use Home Assistant capabilities even faster, from asking Assist a question to running a complete script flow.
These controls are also available to be used with the Action button on iPhone 15 Pro and 16 series. In the [previous release blog](/blog/2024/05/22/companion-app-for-ios-20245-assist/) we discussed that this was a great way to access Assist, in a very similar way to how you trigger Siri with the power button. Well, this release speeds this up significantly by no longer using shortcuts, just check out the difference.

## New Apple Watch configuration
For a long time, our Watch app was only able to display [Home Assistant’s built-in iOS Actions](https://companion.home-assistant.io/docs/core/actions/). With this release you will be able to display scripts, scenes, iOS Actions, and with much more coming in future. After updating, open the iOS App and go to companion app settings to find a new Apple Watch configuration screen where you can choose which items to display, their order, and customize the look.

A really useful customization is the “Require confirmation” option, which will prompt you with a confirmation popup before running the item. This will be very helpful if you, like me, have bad aim and accidentally open your garage door instead of turning on your TV.
