Thank you. Excellent post. I'm so glad you are using your home screen on the first page to your benefit. I don't use notifications or the control center, I just set alerts for upcoming appointments and things like that. I also don't do banking using my phone but I could see what you're saying would be tremendously helpful. I could if I felt like it, There's no need for my purposes. Anyway thank you for showing me what you do indeed use it for.
