Hi All. I updated my OS to 13.1. After connecting my Beats earphones, I did a swipe down to open the control center to check the battery remaining on the earphone. After doing this, the control panel would be frozen. Nothing works. I would have to do a forced re-start every time just to get out of the control panel. Any idea as to why this is happening?

The fact that you need to have a source listed is actually true. I noticed that the issue arose after I deleted the Apple Music app. This app usually always displays an audio source in the control center section. So I always went there and connected my AirPods to the iPad from my phone for example. Never had an issue. After deleting the app the issues started. No source listed and the entire device freezes. Now I downloaded the app again and it is back to normal since it is the default app to play “something”.

I can confirm that re-installing the silly Apple Music app now lets Control Center close. Thank you to carh for posting this tip.
Apple: Please fix this issue!
It looks like this issue only happens when the Apple Music app is uninstalled. Once I reinstalled the Music app, the freeze doesn't happen anymore.
I fixed it. You have to disable any motion reduction effects you have in accessibility. and voila it works!
Hi,
This issue occurs if your Apple Music app is deleted. Try to reinstall the Apple Music app and see if the issue still persists.
This has been a problem on all beta versions of iOS 13 and iPad OS. My recently purchased 11 Pro Max also has the same problem which then forces me to hard reset my device in order to regain proper functionality of the display. Countless times I've reported this bug to the Developer Beta Feedback Assistant and time and time again I receive the same response, "This will be addressed and fixed in the next software update," yet the problem still persists.
Just upgraded to iPadOS 13.2, and the problem has STILL not been resolved.
Very easy to provoke, as described above.
To avoid the frozen panel, don’t open the “Now Paying” Airplay-like icon at the top right corner of the Control Center, if you DON’T have video- or sound stream to transfer.
I am experiencing the same on my iPad Pro 10.5 I just picked up. I was hoping a fresh install would help, but seems like it is software related.
I think I might have solved it.
if you can recreate it, you will notice you have no audio-playing app running at that time. This can be Apple Music, Spotify, Youtube, Netflix, anything. That player’s icon MUST be showing in control centre to NOT replicate the issue. If that is blank, no player, your iPad will freeze.
If you have deleted apple music app from your phone, reinstall it and it will fix it!
Here to confirm this is still happening in 2020. I was going nuts trying to troubleshoot another issue (phone calls not working aux adapter) and I encountered this bug. If Apple Music is not installed on your phone and there is no default audio source in the airplay menu (as described above) it will freeze your phone every time WITHOUT fail.
APPLE NEEDS TO FIX THIS ASAP
Thank you!!! This worked! Reinstalled Apple Music app on the iPad and it no longer locks up after accessing the control center.
As the instruction in this thread is clear as to how to reproduce the bug, I can also confirm that downloading the Apple Music App fixed the issue for me as well (did not even have to start the app).
There shouldn't be any dependency on the Apple Music App... maybe it's kept purposely this way.

My iPhone freezes on control panel after IOS 13.1 update. It’s infuriating. It does it while I’m on calls, on mute - I can’t unmute, I can’t hang up or unfreeze it.
only way out it reboot - volume up, volume down, screen lock button (right) hold down. Then it drops call and takes 60 seconds or more to come around.
This is unacceptable Apple. WTF. How do you not have crews working around the clock to fix this? 3 updates since it started. Each time I think - they’ve got to have solved this freeze. But no.
OMG, it’s true...
just install Apple Music, and the problem is resolved!!! What a relief! :-D
Just be aware - the app is not called Apple Music in all countries. You can search for Apple Music in the app store, and it is this symbol/icon you should be looking for:
(I hope that there are no disadvantages in having Apple Music installed?)
Thanks everyone and Glee217. After about 15 tries (and after taking out the sim card to not call police by accident) it worked! We held down volume up, released, volume down, released, then wake button for LOOOOONNNNNGGGG time (long time) and it finally kicked it to life!!! My boyfriend had the patience, because I was ready to kill the phone with a hammer!!! LOL
Control Center freezes after update 13.1
