How to unlock the control center screen on an iPhone Xr

Got it. It restored it using your LINK. I know what a LINK is. I appreciate your help. I truly do. You seemed to be a bit sarcastic in the response. I’m an MD and am highly trained and thus hopefully remotely intelligent. But admittedly not a tech wizard. I update the IOS (just yesterday), try to learn all I can from the net, searched for the link you ultimately sent but it was buried in a virtual barrage of unhelpful links. Forgive me but when the next call you get could be an emergency it becomes somewhat frustrating when a phone will not perform even the basic function it is designed to perform.

Again, thank you again for your assistance.

Tried that. It is a 10 XR. No home button. If I swipe or tap nothing changes. If i push right button and upper left button and hold to close the control center screen remains unchanged and the phone calls 911. In short, I cannot exit the screen you see above at all. Can’t turn phone off. Nothing changes.

On my wife’s phone asking these questions. Mine is receiving ESPN tone alerts ..etc but can’t get off the locked screen. Phone rings but I can’t answer...tap screen nothing. Push any button and it goes to VM and ends call.

Having to ask for solution on wife’s phone because my phone is locked on the “control center” screen.

If this is apple support please help. I’m leaving town tomorrow and I am ready to bounce this thing off the floor and buy an android.
