I am unable to access Control Centre on my iPhone X

I can’t access my control centre by swiping down from top right edge. I have tried a lot of times to restart it

Hello~ Try this from excellent prior post by *Axel Foley*


As you know, the Siri Suggestions should come up only when you pull down from the middle area of the screen.

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 and then release the Side button (Can take up to 20 seconds. (DO NOT release Side Button when invited to Slide Power OFF).

Post back if needed. Anything changed they you think would be causing this? New screen protector or something along those lines?

Also, if that doesn’t work, you may have a version of iOS that doesn’t support Control Centre as I think it was added in iOS 7.

If you have iOS 7 or later, your iPhone may open Control Centre differently. An iPhone SE shows Control Centre when you swipe from the bottom.

If you don’t have an iPhone SE, I cannot help you as I can access Control Centre on my iPhone 13 and that displays Control Centre when you swipe down from the top right.
