Swipe down from the iPhone X’s right horn for Control Center

To see Control Center swipe down from the display’s right horn. The iPhone X has a black area, or notch, at the top of the screen where the front-facing cameras and sensors live. There’s a little bit of screen on either side of the notch. Those are the horns.

The left horn shows the time, and the right horn shows signal strength and battery.
