Disabling swipe-down/up menus: notifications center, control center and spotlight

I am working on a project for work that allows patients to use these iPads to submit a short survey upon departure from our clinics. We have standalone kiosks to mount them to the floor and are using "Kiosk Pro Lite" to lock down these devices to where the only thing that the patients can access is the survey itself.
The only problem is that they are still able use the swipe features, and I can't seem to search and locate a way to disable these features without jailbreaking them. Does anybody have any suggestions?

You CAN turn off Control Center from being used within apps: Settings > Control Center > Access Within Apps > Switch OFF (white side showing)
You could then uncheck everything under Settings > General > Spotlight search and set restrictions on what people can change under Settings > General > Restrictions. Just DO NOT forget the password for this as you will have to reset the iPad to factory defaults if you do.
Best of luck.

    I cannot find the AirPlay icon for the life of me. I have iOS 7.0.2 on my iPad Mini. Connected to my WiFi network just fine. I swipe up to get to the control center badges and all I see is the AirDrop icon. Trying to disable mirroring on ipad for Netflix streaming and don't know what to do. Any luck out there?

    If you last used an Apple TV to mirror your device and have updated to the newest Apple TV software, go into settings and turn airplay back on. The icon should then appear on your iPad mini when you swipe up allowing you to disable it for Netflix. After updating my Apple TV software for some reason it turned airplay off.

  • Swipe down/up for notification and controle center stop working

    Hi guys,
    I got today my new IPhone 6+ running iOS 8.0.2 and after a while the swipe up gesture for the control center and also the swipe down gesture for the notification center stops working on the home screen and in apps.
    On the lockscreen the gestures still working.
    It happend now 3 Times today but I can´t see any System behind this.
    And it happens also that the System freezes some times for a few seconds, I saw it happen In safari and mail app.
    Hope these are only bugs in iOS which will be solved soon.

    Hello Eric Grylls,
    Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
    If you're not able to access Notification Center or Control Center (other than using Assistive Touch) on your iPhone 5s since the latest update, I recommend following these troubleshooting steps mentioned in this article:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on - Apple Support
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    All the best,
    Jeremy

  • Anyone else having issue getting the "swipe up" to work to access control center on Iphone5?

    Hi, just upgraded to IOS7 on both my Iphone5 and 3rd Gen Ipad.  While I can easily swipe up to get into Control Center on Ipad, same is not at all true for the Iphone5.  Takes about ten tries to get the control center to open by swiping up on Iphone5, whether on home screen or lock screen.  Anyone else having this issue?  Wonder if there is a way to fix it (reinstall IOS 7 I guess somehow?).  Control Center is a great improvement, but not if I can't open it!

    Well, see here for another guy who had same issue: 
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/23013426#23013426
    and my response is there (appears to be an Otterbox issue is upshot).

  • Notification center and control center only work from lock screen on my iPhone 6

    When I try to swipe down to get notification center or up to get control center from any screen but my lock screen, I can't.  Is there a setting or something that I need to change?

    That is correct. Are you starting from off the screen area itself? You cannot start from on the screen. You need to be just off of the screen to begin. See if that helps. If not, then do a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. Check operation after that.

  • Can't see the weather when i swipe down, any ideas?

    Updated to iOS7 and now I can't see the weather when I swipe down; I've looked everywhere in settings and can't seem to find a way to do it, can anyone help? Thanks.

    Launch the Weather app and let it update. Then, check the Notifications Center again. Note that the weather now displays differently. It is a text description under the date in the "Today" section of NC.
    Best of luck.

  • IOS 7 Control Center - Otterbox and Griffin Armor Case Users

    I have had similar problems with both my iPad and iPhone getting the control center to swipe up from the very bottom of the screen...the only solution right now is to try and wedge your finger at the very bottom of the screen and swipe up and hope that works, or take your front cover off and leave the screen exposed or put a screen film over it and use it that way.  You could cut some of the bottom plastic away to give you a spot to swipe up but that would make the case look ugly.
    There is however an easy fix and it is up to Apple to do this or not:
    Just as you can swipe down anywhere on the screen to do a spotlight search, release a patch that does the same for the control center...anywhere you swipe up on the home row area, the control center comes up.
    Problem solved...you didn't think this one through by only make it a small strip area at the bottom of the screen and not taking into account armored cases.

    I did solve the issue....
    If you have a Griffin case you can push the protective cover film away from the case and then use a dremel tool to lightly sand the plastic in the right corner to the shape of a half-circle.  Be careful not to dremel the plastic, but once you are done you can put the cover back on and now control center works perfectly as long as you use your finger in the bottom right corner.
    Easy mod and fix.

  • The control centre and notification centre on my iPad 3 running iOS 7 is not translucent, The control centre and notification centre on my iPad 3 running iOS 7 is not translucent

    Apple told us that in the new iOS 7, menus such as the control centre and notification will be translucent, and allows users to see to some extent content concealed behind the menus.
    I've update my iPad 3 to iOS 7.0.3. The menus (Notification centre, Control centre etc...) are not translucent, at all.
    Control centre is completely greyed out, and I can't see anything behind the menu when called up.
    Notification centre is similarly completely blacked out, though to a small extent I can see some content behind notification centre.
    I've seen in video reviews of iOS 7 that notification centre and control centre are both close to being clear, and take up the colour of content behind them.
    My iPad 3 does not display such aesthetics.
    I know that some of you will say that I should turn off 'increase contrast', but that's not the case, since I've already turned it off.
    The issue was already present when I update from iOS 6 to iOS 7.0.2, and the problem was carried over to iOS 7.0.3, in which I thought the issue would be rectified.
    Is anyone else finding this issue present on their devices?
    Has anyone found a fix yet?
    Thanks!

    Sadly, the iPad 3rd Generation does not recieve the blur/translucency effects which you are mentioning in iOS 7. (The reasoning for this situation is most likely listed below.)
    1.) The difference in processing power between the iPad 3rd generation & iPad 4th generation, (The 4th Generation recieves these visual capabillities while the iPad 3rd Generation isn't capable of producing the effects).
    2.) Marketing issues in which Apple prefers consumers to purchase a newer model instead of something older.
    Turning on the 'Increase Contrast' option is Settings will on make the Notification Center & Control Center completely opaque. This setting is used to make text legibillity higher.
    I hope that this answers your question, if you have anymore questions, just ask. Enjoy your iPad (:

  • Anyone having trouble with operating music controls through the control center?

    Sometimes I pause my music to do something else. When I swipe up later to access the control center, I hit the play button, but it won't play. I could hit the button on my headphones to play but still no result. I have to actually open the music app and press play. Is anyone else having this problem?

    My control center and notification center are not showing when I swipe in there respective locations. Does anybody know why?

    Thank you for the sugestion, but it was working fine both on the lock screen and on my home screen. I check all my settings and it is how it was from Friday, when I got the iPhone 5s. It just stop working.  The only way I can fix it is by shutting down the phone. It will work for a while, then it won't. 

  • Swipe for Notification Center and Control Center not working after using Window Zoom

    I'm using iOS 8.0.2 on an iPhone 6 and have noticed that after using the Window Zoom (Accessibility feature 3-finger double-tap), I cannot swipe down for Notification Center nor swipe up for Control Center when unlocked (i.e. in Home screen or within an app screen). However, when the iPhone is locked, the swipe down for Notification Center and swipe up for Control Center is okay. It just doesn't work when unlocked. And the only way to rectify the problem is to reboot the phone.
    Has anyone else experienced this?

    I have figured out the solution to all of our problems!!! We can keep the zoom function ON!!!! Yay!
    Step one. Turn back on the beloved zoom function.
    step two. Tap screen with 3 fingers.
    step three. Select window zoom. (If already selected move on to step Quatro)
    step qautro. Select Resize lens.
    and for the moment you've all be waiting for... Drum roll..
    the grand finale step. IS...
    shrink the window to the smallest size.
    AFter you have done these 5 steps, you can thoroughly enjoy having all three functions at once. If you switch back to Full Screen Zoom (if that be your preference) the notification and control centers will remain functional! Bon apetit!
    i have been successful enlarging the window while keeping the centers functioning by making sure the window is in the shape of a square.
