Thing you slide up on iphone won't slide up?

On the IOS 7 for iphone the thing you slide up which has the calculator/compass/camera/torch won't slide up when I'm in apps? It use to but all of a sudden it doesn't want to slide up? It's getting annoying what can I do to get it to slide up?

That "thing" is called control center and you probably have the access within Apps option disabled, go to settings - control center and enable it.

The settings must have been changed. Just go into settings/control center and then make sure it is turned on to access within apps.

  • Why won't my Wi-Fi bar slide? I got an iPhone 4s from my Grandmother a while back. It does not have a data plan, I'm using merely as an iPod. Recently my Wi-Fi has just stopped working and in the setting, the Wi-Fi is grey, as if disabled. How do I fix it?
