Not using public API. And you shouldn't, as this is a universal feature across the operating system, across all software. There is no real option.

You can hide the status bar using [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationNone];. This will not display the control center immediately, however any swipe from the bottom would still show an arrow which, if swiped again, would open the control center.

enter image description here

If the user chooses, he or she can disable the control center in third party applications if he chooses to. You can add a recommendation page in your app, where you may suggest that.

  • Right, just curiosity: what if you really had a swipe function (from bottom to top) that displays / does something. The question is: does that take precedence over the OS function? I think no, but it's hard for me to accept that Apple would create such a function that forces developers to re-design their UI. Don't get me wrong, you are right with your answer. Just curiosity. – Unheilig Oct 05 '13 at 13:55
  • No, the OS always takes precedence. Like the notification center swipe gesture from top. I would recommend making a design change where a swipe from the bottom is not required. – Léo Natan Oct 05 '13 at 13:57
  • But for example in Real Racing game it shows an arrow in the middle and when you swipe it again it shows notification bar.. So there is a way to hide it. – zevonja Oct 05 '13 at 14:03
  • That only happens when the status bar is hidden. Is this the behavior you are seeking? – Léo Natan Oct 05 '13 at 14:04
  • Also, it won't help because any swipe from the bottom will still display the arrow. – Léo Natan Oct 05 '13 at 14:06
  • Thank you! I was hoping for the full hide,but arrows will do just fine. – zevonja Oct 05 '13 at 14:20
  • Does anyone know if that arrow is available as a system image ? – Alexandre Cassagne Apr 18 '16 at 23:22
