Disable Control Center from Lock Screen

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!

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 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?
