To wake up Siri, you need to press and hold the side button for a couple of seconds or just say “Hey, Siri”! To use Apple Pay, tap the side button twice. The authentication of Apple Pay needs your Face ID or a passcode. It is simpler to use Apple Pay, if you have a Face ID.

How do you turn on swipe up on iPhone?
Turn on Control Center Access in Lock Screen
If you have locked your iPhone and you want to access the Control Center, read below:
- Open Control Center in Settings.
- Tap Control Center and turn on the toggle next to ‘Access on Lock Screen’.
- And you are welcome.
Enable access
If you are trying to swipe up when you use an app to access the Control Center, you should turn on the special setting. Open the Settings App on your iPhone’s screen. Then turn to the Control Center settings and make your Access Within Apps to the ON position. After that, check the Control Center.
VoiceOver must be disabled
VoiceOver is a function of the iPhone 13, that is responsible for changing the way apps work.
So if it is not necessary, and you don’t need this function on your iPhone, turn it off. And The Control Center will work normally. Here are some steps :
- Click the Settings App.
- Then open the General settings and click on the Accessibility option.
- Turn off the VoiceOver option in Accessibility settings.
- The last step is to close the settings app and try to access the Control Center.
Clean off the dirt
After months of use, your iPhone 13 becomes dirty. When you take your iPhone with you everywhere you go, there will always be the dirt on it. So you need to know how to clean your iPhone properly, avoiding mistakes. It is dangerous for your health to keep it filthy.
Actually, to avoid the damage, be careful when cleaning your iPhone. You should have a soft cloth to wipe off iPhone’s screen until it is clean.
I recommend you to keep your iPhone clean as often as possible to prevent mud or dirt, repel finger grease and oil from interfering with the swipe up screen gestures. Do not use abrasive cleaners, glass cleaners, alcohol towels that can cut through grease because they will damage the coating on your screen.
Take off the screen protector
There also can be a problem with the screen protector, because of its incompatibility. iPhone covers can interfere with proper operation of the swipe up gesture. The best way is to remove these covers from your iPhone and try to swipe up the screen to open the Control Center.
If it helps, the problem disappears immediately. Next time, you must make a smarter decision of buying a compatible screen cover or screen protector so that you can use your iPhone flawlessly.
If letter keys turn blank
Don’t give up, if all the letter keys (special characters) turn blank. It is all about the new 3D Touch feature.
Try to put it on the “firm” setting. Please don’t push too hard on screen keyboard because iOS thinks you have touched the keyboard with two fingers.
Support tap to wake
All iPhones with a physical Home Button do not have a tap to wake feature. This is because this function drains a lot of battery.
How do I enable tap to wake on my iPhone 13? Open the Settings app, then scroll down and tap Accessibility. Tap on Touch under the Physical and Motor section. Toggle Tap to Wake to the On position.
