Katrina. Here's a tip about using the gestures to get to the control center. Go to the top of your phone where you feel kind of a straight line and kind of an indentation on the phone. This is your speaker grill for your earpiece speaker. If you slide your finger down from this point, you should get to your control center. Good luck.
