It is possible that access to the Control Center is resctrited: Settings > Face ID & Passcode > Enter your passcode > Scroll down to the "Allow Access When Locked" section and ensure that Control Center is toggled on.


Additionally, you may perform a force restart: sometimes it can resolve unresponsive areas of the screen.


Did you recently buy a screen protecter? Ensure that your screen protector or case is not obstructing the screen, especially near the edges, which could hinder swipe gestures.


If none of these steps resolve the issue, there might be a hardware problem with your device. In that case, it's advisable to contact Apple Support or visit an Apple Authorized Service Provider for further assistance.
