iPhone 13 Pro Control Center not opening from top right swipe

Today I was using my iphone 13 pro normally, after a while opening the control center from swiping down from the top right became impossible. Is there a fix or is there something wrong with the top of my screen?

Try force restarting your iPhone as follows:


  1. Press and quickly release the volume up button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume down button.
  3. Press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo (this might take longer than 10 seconds).

Instead of a "swipe", try a bit slower "drag". Experiment with the speed of the "drag" and the pressure of your finger.


If still no luck, your iPhone 13 is as much as 5 years old depending on when it was purchased, and the screen may need replacement.


The Apple Store / Genius Bar or an Authorized Apple Service Provider can run free diagnostics on the phone. You can find a list of authorized shops in your area using this link:

Thanks sberman, I did try that, I did read it from another post, but the force reset did not work unfortunately.

Every time I swipe down from the right, all I get is the search black screen.
