I had the same problem, and tried the same thing. All I did was turn my phone off, then on again and it was back to normal :3 hope this fixes your problem.

I Am having this problem on my ipad 4th gen and my work ipad air.

swipe up control center works fine, then it doesn't. i restarted my ipad, when i turned it back on swipe up worked normally for an hour or so. Now it has stopped working.

it stopped working after i hit a notification at the top of the screen.

this is the 4th or 5th time I've had to restart the ipad to get swipe up working again.

SStill having this problem on both ipads even after a reset.

SStill no luck. I have powered off and done a reset on both my iPad 4 and air. Initially the swe up works, but at some point it stops working.

the fact that it' son both ipads tells me it's an ios issue.

has anyone else's problem returned.

I'm having the same problem on my iPhone 4S. Also I can't scroll though the stickers on one of my third party messaging apps. This is usually resolved for a short while if I close and re-open the app, but the problem persists shortly after. I can't swipe the drop down menu on home screen either. The only swipe command working properly is the search iPhone function. 😕

I am also having this problem (except for me it doesn't work from the lock screen), and reseting it will not work. I can occasionally access it from the lock screen, but usually after long periods without using my phone it will be inaccessible. Seems to be a bug in iOS8.

What model of the iPhone do you have, you do not indicate that? Do you have Control Center turned on in Settings for the Lock Screen? It seems that resetting is the only troubleshooting that you have tried. The balance of user troubleshooting steps are restore from backup and if necessary, restore as new, not from a backup. Also, do you have a case or screen protector on the device? Lastly, make sure that you are starting your swipe from off the screen itself.

after updating to IOS8.1 my I-Phone 5 showed my looking screen in maximum zoom, so it is impossible for me to activate it again (can`t type in my codenr.:) I tried to reset it or try to connect to I-tunes no success at all. need help immediately.

any advice are welcome by the way my next try to activate should be in 56 minutes, gosh I thing apply buried with steve also the quality of its products

More than likely you have activated zoom from the accessibility menu, obviously inadvertently. Try triple-tapping the home button to turn it off, or double-tap with three fingers to turn off.

thank you ChrisJ4203,

this was helpful wish the guys from apple would be also like you, less problems

kind regards,

thomas

You're welcome.

I have found that although this doesn't work with my iPhone 5, on my iPad 2, if you swipe up from the dead centre of the screen, basically starting with your finger immediately below the lit portion of the screen and immediately above the Home button, it seems to work every time.

Regrettably this doesn't work on the phone where I would use the feature much more often. Ah well, let's hope Apple takes notice and fixes it sooner rather than later.

You need to start off of the screen for the phone as well. What troubleshooting have you tried. There is nothing wrong with Control Center for Apple to fix, it appears on your phone. You need to troubleshoot your phone.
