The iPhone X introduces several changes to the ways people use their iPhones, including changes for Notification Center and Control Center. While accessing Notification Center remains largely the same Control Center has seen an almost literal 180-degree change in how it's accessed. Previously, you'd swipe up from the bottom of your iPhone to access Control Center, but that gesture on the iPhone X now brings you Home from wherever you are.

Instead, you'll find Control Center alongside Notification Center at the top of your iPhone X. Here's how to access them.

Accessing Notification Center is mostly unchanged from other iPhones, though now there is a specific place that you can't swipe to invoke it.

  1. Make sure your iPhone X's display is on.
  2. Swipe down on the clock or just below the TrueDepth camera to access Notification Center.
  3. Use Notification Center as you would on any other iPhone.

If you're familiar with Notification Center, there's really nothing else to get used to on iOS 11 or the iPhone X. Check out the guide below if you need help using Notification Center.
