I also agree for myself. It is good to use whichever gesture is most fluid. ----- Original Message ----- From: Sieghard Weitzel To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, September 14, 2025 4:45 PM Subject: RE: Reliable way of accessing the Control Center
Alan, I absolutely agree which is why I said “everybody should use what they are most comfortable with”, but I simply explained my opinion just as you did yours.

I've been using iPhones without a home button for about 4 years and I've never found the single finger slide gesture from either the top or bottom of the screen to access the previous four things to be as easy to do as its alternatives. I even set up custom gestures to access the App switcher and the Home screen because I'm not a fan of the single finger slide ones. I can do the single finger slide gestures but I much prefer the alternatives.

Of course everybody should use what they are most comfortable with and it’s good Apple sometimes gives us more than one option to accomplish the same thing, but if somebody is first learning/building muscle memory to bring up the control centre or notification centre, I would argue practicing and learning the single finger swipe down is the way to go, To me it is more intuitive and fluent compared to first touching the status bar, then moving my hand down so I can swipe up again with 3 fingers. Once you get used to it, it is just as easy and reliable as touching the bottom and swiping up for going back to the home screen.

I find this method much easier for accessing the control center versus the single finger slide down from the top of the screen.

Make sure you're starting at the very top. I usually put my finger on the top of the phone and then slowly slide down the face of the phone. -- Christopher (AKA CJ) =>÷ Chaltain at Outlook, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: [email protected] <[email protected]> on behalf of Kathy Blackburn <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, September 13, 2025 7:41 PM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Reliable way of accessing the Control Center My iPhone is a 14+ running IOS 18.6.2. I checked under settings to find out how to access the control center. I need to use the scan barcode feature. Swiping down from right edge does not work for me at all. I just run into apps on my home screen. I welcome any suggestions. Thank you. Kathy Blackburn [email protected] -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
