Can't access Control Center from Locked Screen since I updated to IOS 8

Since I updated my iPhone 5 to IOS 8 (and 8.2) when I try to open Control Center from my locked screen, the display goes black but what i tried to open (calculator, camera or timer) is running in the back and the phone does not freeze, but if I want to access either of those, I have tu punch in my password and then open the app.

This thing does not happen on my wife's iPhone 5 or my iPad Air.

Any help ?

iPhone 5, iOS 8

Hi jay,


To access control on lock screen, go to settings> touch id and passcode and turn on control centre when locked.

I really hope that the OP has figured this out in the three years since they posted.

Did you check Settings>Control Center>Access on Lock Screen and make sure it's set to ON?
