I have been swiping down and it doesn’t work. When I am on Netflix and am watching something that is the only time I can swipe down to see my control center and notifications.

IF Swiping Down from the TOP RIGHT/LEFT CORNER does not work then try the following procedure. Once completed then try Swiping Down again. Remember to USE THE CORNERS.

Try and Force Restart your iPhone exactly as shown below and see whether that resolves the issue:

  • Press and quickly release Volume UP button
  • Press and quickly release Volume DOWN button
  • Press and Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears then release the Side button (Can take up to 20 seconds. DO NOT release Side Button when invited to Slide Power OFF).
