How to I get it to show me the Control Center?

When I try to swipe down from the top right of my iphone 11 Pro Max, I get 'Siri Suggests' which I don't want instead of the Control Center which I do want.


I can't figure out how to get to the Control Center by any means. I'd really like the swipe down to work like it did on my old phone.


Thanks

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 16

Thank you, but that's not it. I already turned Siri off. It's search that comes up when I swipe down from the top left ... when I swipe down from anyway actually.


Also 'notifications' doesn't come up when I swipe down from top center. Again, it's search that comes up.

Getting Control Center to Pop-Up:

You are siping to correctly. So, try temporarily disabling Siri; reenable it after this. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.

  1. Go to: Settings
  2. Tap: Siri & Search
  3. Tap: Listen for ‘Hey Siri' so that it is grayed-out
  4. Tap: Press Side Button for Siri so that is is greyed-out

Hold you finger down as you swipe up. Then, close all of these open apps, by sweeping up quickly for all apps.

"How to I get it to show me the Control Center?: Thanks for the response. It turned out that the very top edge of the screen wasn't working. I took it back to the store and he replaced the screen. All is well now.
