How to use the Control Center when you have the on-screen keyboard on iPhone

control center with keyboard

It has probably ever happened to you that you want to verify any of the many things that are shown to us in the Control center and precisely by having the keyboard open on the screen, you cannot do it. Today in Actualidad iPhone We teach you a simple trick, which requires nothing more than learning a sequence of touches to be able to enter and exit the Control Center on iPhone and the keyboard in a simple way and without anything changing.

Even before going on to detail what you have to do, it should be noted that in the case of iOS it is not by chance that the keyboard when activated occupies a large part of the screen and leaves everything else in the background. In fact, otherwise, it would be really difficult to write on it in a comfortable way. This is not a error or a bug to be solved, but rather the simplest formula to achieve precisely the greatest comfort in what is supposed to be the action to which we give priority at that moment. Maybe by increasing the screen size on a next iPhone 6, some of this will change, but for now, with the current dimensions it is the best strategy.

 Use the Control Center when you have the on-screen keyboard

To access the Control Center on your iPhone when you have the on-screen keyboard, all you have to do is double-tap the Home button. Once you have done it, you will have opened the app switcher that will take the keyboard to the background, but will leave it as it is. Now you just have to do the swipe gesture from below to be able to see the Control Center panel appear. If you want to go back to the keyboard, just one tap on the Home button to close the Control Center, and another one, to return to the previous action. Easy right?

    Well, I open the control center with the on-screen keyboard without problems and without having to open the App switcher, I simply move my finger, I move my finger from the bottom of the screen up, to a little above the keyboard and it opens so normal…

      Writing a note, or sending an email too? Because the idea is to be able to open it from anywhere, especially when the keyboard occupies the functional part of the screen that allows you to open the Control Center. Greetings!!! 😉

      1.    Joshua said

        Well, yes, writing a note or an email can also be done; It seems that we did not have an iPhone in hand!

        1.    Cristina torres said

          We have an iPhone 4s in hand. And although it can be done by power, it must be recognized that it is somewhat complex due to the fact that the keyboard occupies precisely the functional part to activate the Notification Center. Or does not the keyboard appear right in the lower area occupying that part on your iPhone? Let's see if mine was going to invade the Martians and I didn't find out 😉

    I agree with colleague Alexcrv93 ...
    Post completely taken out of the sleeve and unnecessary, like almost all those that Cristina Torres or Carmen Rodriguez writes ...
    I'm sorry to write to say this but, I think that these two contributors are not at the level of the rest of the editors and they do the web a disservice.
    regards

      Hi Josh. I'm glad you're one of those users that everything works out the first time with the iPhone. Really. However, as with any gadget, there are users who, because they are novices or simply because they do not constantly tinker with it, are not so good at the subject. Above all, due to the fact that the keyboard occupies the functional part to activate the Notification Center option. As you see in the comments (and also if you do a Google search on the subject), there are many people interested in this, and what I have done is give them the information.

      Regarding my post being unnecessary, they will be for you. And I'm sorry, but I do not intend to please everyone, or write things that can be useful to all types of users. Sometimes I will please the newest, sometimes the more advanced. And others, as in your case, you will not like anything I write. It is an opinion. And you already know, for tastes, colors.

      What I do appreciate is that you keep in mind that the comments are to talk about the specific article. And also, the mention of my partner is over. She has not written anything in this post, and the criticism seems like an attack without any intention of being constructive. So better, you reserve it.

      Greetings also to you 😉

    completely agree with the previous statements. An absurd post. You can open the center control with the keyboard open without any problem, and if you cannot, it is only attributable to the clumsiness of the user

    1.    Cristina torres said

      Hello The Jewish Bear:

      Calling users who can see the usefulness of this option clumsy just because you are good at it is a bit pushy on your part. In fact, you have to understand that not everyone has an iPhone to fiddle up and down, sideways and sideways.

      That something can be done does not imply that there are no other alternatives that certain users find more accessible. And that's what this article was about.

      Greetings 😉

    Sorry, but most users are not as easy to access as Josh or the Bear say, since most of the time they press the space key or other keys while advancing in the opening of the Control center, the correct thing and Without looking for offenses is to explain it, in my case an Iphone 4S you simply place your finger on the "enter" key under the right hand while it is in dark mode "off" and you can slide the tab without problem but continuing until a little more than half of the screen, but if they are active the indicated key is a little more luck or learning. Provide solutions NO COMPLAINTS

  5.   Ricardo said

    Well yes, with the keyboard open, just slide your finger from the bottom of the screen up (from the area next to the start button) and although it seems that keys are pressed when passing the upper part of the keyboard nothing is written, you use the center control and turn it down. You save yourself all those steps and hitting the start button. That's all.

    Well, it seemed to me to be a very interesting post, because THERE IS NO EASY WAY when the keyboard is on the screen to open the Control Center.

    To all this…

    Is there a harassment and defeat campaign against some specific editors of this weblog, or does it only seem that way to me?

    Any ill-wisher could believe that there is a dark interest behind this, you know, coming from other websites or even from other collaborators ... So far I can read.

  7.   Daniel said

    That's not necessary, bSta dragging off the keyboard. Whoever writes this does not have an Iphone.

    1.    Cristina torres said

      I have an iPhone 4s. If you get the Notification Center the first time, congratulations. Me too after messing around a lot, but I know there are people who don't find it so easy, precisely because the keyboard occupies that part of the screen, and it is easier to go to the space key than to open the Notification Center. Although it has not helped you, other users have, and I am glad of it. In any case, greetings 😉

    Responding to hiuston:
    I think that what I have written above is nothing strange, in fact it is something that many visitors to this website share. I love actualidadiphone and I have visited it daily for years, that is why I think I can express my opinion about the website and its collaborators. (Always with respect)

    For the record, I have nothing against these people, much less say it for something personal. I simply think that his articles are not at the level of the rest (which is very high by the way) although I understand that nobody is born knowing, nor are they all professionals in the sector.

    From there to look for conspiracies and things like that there is a whole world ... Greetings

    I had not seen Cristina's response to my comment.
    I apologize if you have felt offended at any time since at no time have I tried to attack you or your partner (Even less in a destructive way, as you say)

    It has been a simple opinion about something that in my opinion affects the quality of the content of the web, and since I have visited it for many years every day, I believe that I have the right to comment on it and that you, when writing a article, you expose yourself to readers to give our opinion.

    And I'm sorry, but do not insist on defending the article, because this is totally unnecessary and filler, whatever you paint it.
    If, according to you, it is a "basic" tutorial for those less knowledgeable in the matter, indicate it as such, and not as if you were discovering the Americas.

      Good Josh:

      Your opinion is that, one more opinion. Unfortunately, I do not see anything positive in attacking my partner in an article in which she has not written anything. I think is disrespecfull. It is as if I go to an article in any newspaper and take advantage of the space they give me to comment on it to criticize not only its editor, but also his colleague who has nothing to do with the matter. The comments are to comment on the articles, forgive the redundancy.

      Regarding myself, because of how I am, I like to receive negative and positive reviews. Although I always prefer those that serve to improve, and do not simply try to attack for no other reason than that.

      Finally, I am not trying to defend the article. I considered and consider that it is useful, from what I have told you, and from what you can also see in some comments, and of course, because of the level of searches it is having. Regarding indicating that it is a tutorial for newbies, ActualidadiPhone It is a website for everyone, and I don't think it is necessary to specify it as you mention. As I said before, I understand that there are things that may serve some users and not others. And there may be those who don't like what I do. Everyone has their own tastes. And against that, I have nothing to object. I can't please everyone.

      Regards!!

    Good morning Cristina:
    Sorry, this is not about a specific style of writing or preferences or tastes. Specifically, I am talking about DISINFORMING.
    This page has thousands of visits daily by users of all kinds, as you indicate. These users will take as a reference everything they find here because they trust its content.

    I am sorry to tell you, again, that your entry is totally unnecessary because YOU DO NOT NEED TO FOLLOW ANY OF THE STEPS that you indicate to open the control center. I have tested it on my iPhone 5, my ipad and the iphone 4 and 4s of two other colleagues, and in neither of them, you need to do anything "strange" to open the CC when the keyboard is unfolded.

    I do not want to extend or distort your article, but I am launching this for reflection. This is an important and quality page, and the news / tutorials must be published with sense and mind and not based on "anything goes" and getting visits.

    Regarding your partner, I also apologize if I have offended someone, but it is an opinion that I have been having for several weeks (not because of an isolated post) and I have not found a recent entry from her, it does not seem appropriate to refloat one old, just to say my opinion.

    Greetings and good start to the week.

      Good Josh:

      Definition of Misinformation according to the RAE: 1. Giving information intentionally manipulated in the service of certain purposes // 2. Giving insufficient information or omitting it

      I have talked about how the iOS Control Center can be activated when we have the keyboard activated and on the screen you cannot access it by touching from the bottom up because you get stuck with the keyboard keys. I insist. It may not happen to you. There are people who do.

      Neither misinform, nor lie, nor anything you say. And the users who had problems with it, and have read the article (if you do a Google search you will see that there are many who ask about the subject) have solved them. It can be done without resorting to the trick. But it can also be done with the trick. Is it so difficult to understand that things can be done in various ways and that what you do not find useful to others is?

      Regarding Carmen. I insist. A lack of respect on your part. That you have not seen recent articles does not give you the right to use one of my posts to attack her. It would be more! Your opinion I already told you before that it is one of the many that are seen in the comments and that reach us in other ways. Although if it does not seem appropriate to refloat a previous entry of it to give your opinion, how can you defend doing it to criticize it in an article in which it has nothing to do? Please, a little sanity.

      Regards!!!

    I agree with the majority, an unnecessary and confusing article that demonstrates the lack of knowledge that several of the editors of the iPhone have about the iPhone. Actualidad iPhone.

  12.   Osvaldo Landa said

    I consider that the information is good, even though many say that it is an unnecessary question, there are many more that only occupy the end to send messages and receive calls, and that of course this information is very useful; Now, not only for this reason, the post should have the title "for those who only send msn and answer calls", because it would be as much as Hey empty head !! Come and criticize this post, they don't know how to write, look at the titles. Thus, I think that in one way or another criticism will always come; however, the point should be on a topic that is considered better, not just say; "Wow, I already knew it"; that is called mediocrity, besides being ungrateful; Finally, if you don't like the articles, then damn it, go to another page, period; or if you see it very easy, then start writing bastard. Ches lemon trees with cudgel.
