Customize Control Center screen icons

Allow users to customize the icons that represent different Control Center pages, replacing the generic dots with meaningful symbols that reflect each page's content.

Currently, Control Center uses simple dots to indicate different pages, making it difficult to quickly identify which page contains specific controls. Users must memorize the order or swipe through pages to find the controls they need.

Proposed improvements:

  • Custom icons per page: Let users choose from SF Symbols or create custom icons for each Control Center page
  • Automatic suggestions: Suggest icons based on the most prominent controls on each page (e.g., music note for media controls, house for HomeKit)
  • Color coding: Allow different colors for different types of controls
  • Quick visual identification: Icons would make it instantly clear which page contains the desired controls

Examples:

  • Music page: 🎵 or speaker icon
  • HomeKit page: 🏠 or house icon
  • Accessibility page: ♿ or accessibility symbol
  • Custom app page: App's icon or user-chosen symbol

This would significantly improve the usability of multi-page Control Center setups and make customization more visually coherent.
