The notch and gesture-based control system of iPhone X has made it a little different to access the notifications and control center. On other iPhones, you can swipe down from the top of the screen to access notifications and swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get into control center. But with iPhone X, you need to swipe down from the top left-hand corner to access the notification panel. If you swipe up on your iPhone X, you will be directed to the home screen.
To access your control center, swipe down from the top right-hand corner of the screen. You will notice that when you access control center, your on-screen information adjusts accordingly. Your carrier signal strength, Wi-Fi, and carrier name appear on the top left-hand corner, while your battery percentage, battery icon, and Bluetooth appear on the top right-hand corner. When you are on your home screen, the clock appears on the top left-hand corner, and signal strength, Wi-Fi icon, or LTE if you are not on Wi-Fi, and battery indicator appear on the top right-hand corner.
You can access your battery percentage and other icons by swiping down. If you have enabled options such as alarms or do not disturb, the icons will show up on the top right-hand corner next to your battery indicator. If you disable these options, the icons will disappear. However, you can only see these icons from your control center, not from your home screen.
The good thing about iPhone X is that you can easily access control center or notifications whenever you are inside an application. For instance, if you open up Chrome, you can swipe down from the top right-hand corner to access the control center and take any necessary action such as disabling options.
In conclusion, accessing notifications and control center on your iPhone X is slightly different, but it is much easier to do it when you are inside an application than ever before. So, swipe down from the top left-hand corner to access your notifications and swipe down from the top right-hand corner to access the control center.
