Watch won’t swipe up

My watch is in theater mode and I can’t swipe up to change it. How do I get my control center to come up?

Try turning your Apple Watch off, then back on. Here are the directions:

  • Turn off: press the side button (under the crown) until you seeMedical ID, Emergency Call. Look for the small icon at the top of the screen. Press that then swipe to power off.
  • Wait a few minutes then press and hold the crown until the Apple log appears. Then release the crown. The watch will turn on.


This should set everything back to normal.
