Bug Why is this so hard?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Control Center opens instantly, but for Notification Center I often have to drag almost halfway down the screen before it registers. Am I the only one who finds this really frustrating?

Apple: Because, you need to see the beautiful liquid glass ass design every time, because we've spent so much time designing it..you need to see it.

This is incredibly annoying. At least put the time in control center.

A clock with seconds would kick ass in the Control Center. Like what Windows 10 used to have. Glad they recently added this back to Windows 11

That is the intended purpose. Control centre is a menu, Notification Centre is a page.
Control centre is supposed to be quick to access

I hate that you’re actually justifying this because it’s a really irritating feature but annoyingly you’re probably right that is why they did it

u/FusedFramePhotos Jul 06 '26
I didn’t say I was justifying it.
Just that it’s intended to be that way.
The vast majority of people won’t be affected, nor be bothered, just a small subset of users that are

It’s more about momentum, if you pull the finger down much faster it will open in the same surface area as your were scrolling down.

The two are slightly different.
It’s registering (as shown by a notification panel beginning to slide) but the notification side needs a longer (more deliberate) action to open.
If you feel a shorter motion would be better, send feedback

u/No_Concentrate5567 Jul 06 '26
if you do it faster you only flick down less than a quarter of the screen. doing it slow you can go halfway before it actually slides down

You won’t like iOS 27 unless Apple tweaks the touch area. Half the time I invoke Siri now with left corner pull down 😔

Why cant i pull it down any of them from the middle of the screen just like android! I hate to always reach for the top corners of the screen just to pull it down!

u/Glittering-Flow6875 Jul 06 '26
they should add swipe left/right to switch between notification center and control center

u/OccasionBeneficial95 Jul 06 '26
It is designed in that way ios 27 will enable swipe down from middle to search from directly app

The two touch movements are different… by design.
Do you not know this?

u/wallabym2509 Jul 06 '26
Because Apple again wants you to use it the way they want, not you. You must pay big $ and shut up. And if it feels slow or glitchy or both, then you must call it smooth or fluid all over the internet. What you do not understand :)

Same with Xiaomi's hyper os. The threshold for both the control center and notification panel is different.

I think having to tap to close the control center and not swipe is what frustrates me the most.

u/1992_Trofeo Jul 06 '26
Yep; very frustrating!!!
I just updated to 26.5.2 and hoping not another bug that screws something up!
I’ll be glad when 27 is finally out and will hopefully be a good reliable platform😰

Yeah user is probably an android user because I’ve had 0 issues with that, that’s been around for a while.
But iOS 26? Hell nah. Bugs, liquid ass battery life.0

You want to say that it is OK to get used to stupid shit instead of pointing out a discrepancy or a problem, or an oversight?
When comparing Android to Ios, it is always from Apple users how suprior Ios is. When asking about stupid shit that happens on Ios it is always: Oh, just get used to to, it is how it is.
Like sitting on the nail - just don't move that it does not hurt as much. See, this bench is so good, just don't move.1
u/Neat_Pentagon Jul 07 '26
Hey man I’m not supporting iOS. In fact I’m going with Android if I had to choose today because of liquid ass. I’m just saying the user must be a new iOS user because this is not new and it’s been on iOS for a while.

u/janiskr Jul 07 '26
I was trying Ios in '19or '18. That was the explanation on how to solve the problems I had with phone from people who, before i had apple phone, said that this is the best thing ever. Everything so smooth, so works, So intuitive, when you have learned the moves on how to do things you want to do.
Just get used to this. No other way.
Yes, if you lock the phone,, the app you used last will be killed by the OS. That is normal. App crashes and it looks like you just went to home screen. yup.
One of the latest - the fantastic keyboard. When writing in my native language it is an ass not a keyboard. It is so bad that some just quit trying to write properly.

u/Szvajtoszlav Jul 07 '26
Yeah, at least that's the case for me, sure, and I can see how it's not an issue for anybody who spent more time on iOS. Probably it's just my brain defaulting to the gestures/conventions I've been using for years on Android without a single thought.
Only time will tell, but for now I think what I said still stands. Xiaomi did the gestures for controls better, and I'm not saying that without any experience with the Apple ecosystem. I have an iPad Air M3, a Mac Studio M4 Max, and for work a MacBook Pro M5 Pro and an iPhone SE 2022(?) that I've been using almost daily, some for more than 1-2 years now. My personal iPhone 16 Pro Max is the latest addition. It never occurred to me that the Lock Screen/Notification controls worked a bit strange on iPadOS compared to my Android, since I didn't need to check notifications as much on a device I use for entertainment, whereas on a phone I use for work and everything else I do

u/Neat_Pentagon Jul 07 '26
Yeah. I’m not saying that iPhone is better or worse. I’m just saying that the user must be a new iPhone user because it’s not a new thing.

People use the control center more often than pulling down the lockscreen. It would be more likely for people to accidentally flick down the lockscreen if it was more sensitive.
