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”.
THANK YOU! This is how to fix the bug until otherwise patched by Apple. Great analysis on the issue, I would have never figured this out. Kudos!
Please help me understand how to restart after this freeze? I can't move that screen, so standard restarts don't work.
It now happen on my 2nd gen ipad pro woth physical home button too on iPadOS/ios 13.3.1. It seems maybe it has to deal with wifi or just when you have audio playing that is AIRPLAYED to something????
Same here happened to my iPhone X moments ago when I opened my AirPods to check the battery and opened the control centre at the same time in IOS 13.3.1 !!
On latest update 13.4.1 it also happens
Lol, such easy solution ??
I will try today thanks
just download the apple music app no big deal!
I am upgrade my iphone 7 to ios 13.5 . After update my control center get stuck (freeze) some times. How to resolve this please help
true, this solved my problem !
I have this exact problem in ios 13.6
Just upgraded to iPadOS 13.1.3, and the problem persists.
Working on iPad Air 2 (A1567).
Very easy to provoke: Open the “Now Playing” item in the Control Center to transfer a video/audio stream to another device - without having anything (Youtube or similar) to transfer. Then you’ll never get out of the Control Center again, and have to reboot the iPad.
Really annoying, but first time during the 4 years I had this great device, that I had to reboot it due to an error.
Surprised that Apple hasn't fixed this issue yet. Still happening in July 2020!
Control Center just froze on my iPhone XR when I clicked on the output selection (the upper R corner of the control center).
Following the directions for a standard no-home-button iPhone worked: Click volume-up, then click volume-down, then hold down the button on the opposite side until it reboots. (I was nervous to do this at first, thinking it might initiate a reset, but it doesn't). It doesn't matter that you can't see what's happening underneath Control Center, you don't need to see or swipe anything, the phone will simply reboot - you let go when you see the Apple logo.
Install Apple Music and it will go away!!
Control Center freezes after update 13.1
