I’ve performed the steps to disable the control center as described in the discussions here (settings-face id and passcode-toggle control center button off) and still I’m able to access the control center.
My phone was stolen from my hands in Ecuador this past Saturday and of course the first thing they do is turn on airplane mode. I now have the 12 Max iOS 14.6 and would really like to remove that feature.
thanks!
iPhone 12 Pro Max
Hello I will be happy to assist you,
since you have the iPhone 12 pro max, it has Face ID. When you pull down on control centre do you see the lock symbol as locked or unlocked? If it shows a unlocked lock symbol then that is why it works. You are changing the right setting as you mentioned so thats not the issue.
One thing to try is to wear a face mask and see if you can access control centre.
Hope this helps!

I want to eliminate access to the control center from the Lock Screen…the phone is locked, I’ve unticked the control center option as mentioned in the discussion, but am still able to pull up the control center from the Lock Screen…

I just tried this on my phone and you can't access the control center. Are you looking at your phone while you try to open control center?

Sorry you didn't answer my question.
Thank you!…makes total sense-I’m just wondering-does this mean for it to be fully functional I’d have to remove facial recognition? My phone was stolen from my hands-easy access for the thief to enable airplane mode and the phone disappears..this is why I want to disable the control center…I will keep looking for answers
Hi,
No for it to be fully functional Face ID does not need to be disabled. If Face ID detects your face then only can you access control centre from the lock screen. If a thief tries to open control centre, face ID will see that the thief’s face is not registered and will not be able to open control centre.
That actually worked…thank you @joel12mat
The answer was right in front of me…still traumatized from getting robbed I guess :(
I totally get it now 🤦🏻♀️
Thanks again :)
