Control Center freezes after update 13.1

I’ve had the same issue. In my case I had enabled the reduce motion option in settings - accessibility - motion. Try disabling it to see if this fixes the bug.

I just got an iPhone XS today and had this problem too when I was trying to switch to my AirPods. If you use it in the same way that I do, my “solution” is that I have two Shortcuts on my phone: one to set the audio output to my AirPods and one to set it to the phone itself (see photos).

Have an iPhone Xr and experienced the same Problem today.

I was listening to a podcast. Than I swiped down, went into control center and tapped on the Airplay symbol that is displayed in the corner of the media control button to connect to a HomePod. I did successfully connect to it. Right after that I switched into the music app and played a song. Because there was a delay, I went back into controlcenter and than it all froze.

I cant even restart it right now.

This is still not fixed with IOS 13.4 on an iPad Pro 2020.

I am very unimpressed with this serious bug and am amazed that Apple has not already fixed it by now because:

1. It's not even possible to power off with Control Center frozen (although the buttons can be used to start the power off process, the slider step cannot be completed because Control Centre acts as a "modal" overlay preventing any interaction with the slider), so the only way of restoring service will be to wait for the batteries to drain - which is going to take weeks of non-use!
2. I purchased this iPad to set-up with a minimal configuration for an elderly relative socially isolated by the COVID19 lock-down. Now not only is the work which I have done on configuring it wasted but there is no chance that I can make it available in a timely manner, which is going to force me to buy another one.

Hard restart on iphone x and above: press up and down button then hold wake button till restarts.

Just upgraded to iOS 13.1.3, and the problem persists.

Working on iPhone 11.

Reproduction guide:

1. open control center
2. tab on the airdrop-like icon on the upper right corner of control center
3. meet your brick

So what method fix the control panel not exiting when swiping down from the top right? It seem my problem mostly happens when using control center to adjust the volume on the HomePod with bad wifi reception. It dont matter if I am using Music app or Podcast.

hi there i understand your concern

but if u can somehow access the ipad pro

just downlioad the apple music app if it does not already have one

then the problem should be fixed

no need to buy another one.....

I confirm this happens on my iPad 6 too since I updated iOS.

It also freezes on a 2017 iPad Pro on iPadOS 13.1

It freezes here when you get out of airdrop icon on music

13.3 just updated my iPhone and iPad, the freezing problem in Control Center persists 🙄 I have to manual reset the devices every single time I switch bluetooth sources.

Super annoying.

Same here, can someone escalate this to Apple? Maybe someone reading this can at least acknowledge that they’re looking into it?

OMG. I deleted the music app yesterday and this issue started today. There’s definitely a connection.
