Hi
After installing iOS14 on my iPhoneX, five blank spaces appeared in the Control Center before the electable controls appear. I’ve tried removing all controls, but this had no effect. Is there anything I can do, or is this a bug I can hope will be mended in coming updates?

That looks like the Control Center is missing some icons from the HomeKit.
Open Settings ➔ Control Center : Try turning Show Home Controls to OFF and see if that eliminates the gap between apps however it will not show the HomeKit. Then repeat the steps above and turn Show Home Controls to ON. See if that fixes it.
You can even open the HomeKit app and see if you see something that doesn't belong there.

Fair enough. But they are definitely already aware of this issue.
My message was more meant to be a “I have this issue too” type reply.
This was frustrating the heck out of me. Thanks. I hope Apple makes this a little more intuitive as if you don't have any home controls they should probably go away. or at least show an icon that makes it look like something isn't connected, instead of a blank icon. makes a regular user think that they did something wrong or need to wait to an update in the software will fix it.
I have this same issue on my phone(11 pro max) but it has now happened to my brand new iPad (2020 pro 11”) I did use my phone to set it up so I am not sure if it carried over.
Tried turning off the setting but they do come back when I turn it back on.
I’ve seen this too. I have giggled it in settings as advised but it still disappears from control center. I open the Home app and it comes back in control center but after a while, disappears again.
Is there any resolution to this issue?

When I toggled the Home Controls off, the blank spaces disappeared. However they returned when I toggled back on.
Thanks anyway for the workaround. I can manage fine without the Home Controls.
You are welcome.

You are welcome.

Please fix this Apple. This is very much unlike you. I happen to love the new home controls but the empty space is beyond annoying.
Understood. Thanks.

Hello!
Turn off “Show Home Controls” in Control Center settings and that should fix it.
