iOS 12-Can't Swipe Up for Control Center

Upper right side of screen near battery , there are three little dots. Drag down for control centre.. Good Luck..

Like why did you have to do that? What did you gain from doing that? Just keep the **** control center where it always was. And when you make changes MAKE SURE TO GIVE US A HEADS UP! Like a Hey Dawg just so you know the control center is on the top right corner now. That would’ve been nice😒

I didn’t DO ANYTHING!!!

I am just a user, like you.

I do not work for Apple and no Apple product teams participate in these Apple product users technical support communities.

We are all Apple product users just voluntarily helping other Apple product users with product technical issues.

If you have a “beef” with Apple, post feedback here.

To get control center in iOS 12, now, you must swipe down from the upper right side of the iPad’s screen.

You might want to familiarise yourself more with iOS 12 and download to the new AppleBooks app, the official Apple iPad Users guide for iOS.

So annoying. Why do they change things just to change them???

When your iPad is on the lock screen, you will see a blue line under the WiFi symbol and battery percentage. That blue line is a holdover from one of the iPhones, from what I read, to indicate how to get to the control center.

I have lost the brightness and screen rotation lock since updating to ios12. Double clicking home button no longer brings controls up. Any idea why.?

Swipe down from the upper right corner where the battery and WiFi icons reside . After you swipe down, you will see the control center. Rotation lock and brightness controls are in there.

My solution was the first reply in this posting.

Because iDevices across the board, at some time very soon have NO home buttons any longer and Apple is trying to standardise the iDevice UI control experience across all iDevices, now.

Apple did communicate the change to the Control Centre within the iOS User Guide that accompanied this (and every other) iOS release. Guides for iPad and iPhone are freely available as both an online resource and as a downloadable Apple Book.

These publications describe both the applicable control gestures and included features in considerable detail.

Thank you! I tried swiping from everywhere except the corners. 👍🏻

The screenshot was VERY helpful

For the love of God, WHY??? It worked perfectly fine before!
