Iphone6 control center not pulling up

I have an iPhone 6 and the control center almost never allows me to pull it up from the bottom of the screen. I have tried all settings turning them on and off. Restarting, everything I can think off with no luck. Sometimes works but more often not working than actually working. anyone else? Any ideas to fix?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Not sure if this is your first iPhone or if you have something different going on with the iPhone 6, but just in case you aren't already aware, the main "trick" to open Control Center is to start the upward swipe from below the bottom of the screen. Also, there options in Settings > Control Center regarding whether it is available from the lock screen and from within apps.

I Have figured out my issue. I have an otterbox case and it is basically restricting me from sliding up the control center. i figured out if I place my finger to the right of the home button and swpie upwards and towards the ride size of the edge of the casing it pulls control center up every time.

TThanks for the reply but I have tried everything. It will work one minute with a simple swipe up from the home screen but then like now it does not work at all. I try and swipe up and nothing. It happened earlier today so I restarted the device and it worked and then after awhile it does not work again. I made sure all control center setting are on.

I'm having this same issue on my iPhone 6. I can't seem to consistently pull up the control center from the bottom. I've never really had an issue with this as I've always used this feature once it's been introduced in previous iphone versions.


I noticed that it is equally difficult to bring the notification down. Also, it seems it's dependent on the app that is being used at the moment. I find it particularly difficult when I am reading a book and try bring the control center up. Anyone else having issues with this?

I have been having the he same problem with my iPhone 7+ - the Control menu is very difficult to pull up from the bottom. Sometimes works but mostly doesn't. There was one item under General - Accessibility that was turned on. I turned it off and now it works smoothly every time! Thank you!
