iPhone X swipe down for notifications and control center only works within an app in landscape mode. I’ve checked the settings and nothing seems off. I’ve done a hard restart. I’ve done an erase content / restore from backup. The phone is on the latest iOS (16.2). Even tried cleaning the screen out of desperation. Nothing has worked.

How to open and close Control Center
The way you open and close Control Center depends on the type of device that you have. Find your device model below, then follow the steps. Or learn how to open Control Center on your iPad.
iPhone X and later
If you swipe too close to the top-center of your screen, you might open Notification Center instead of Control Center.
I am aware of how to use it as I’ve had iPhones for years and this has never previously been an issue.
