I can’t swipe up on my Apple Watch to see the battery I can no longer swipe up on my Apple Watch to see the battery. It seems to have changed overnight (possibly while I was wearing it, or when it ran out of battery, or when I plugged it back in to charge). Now when I swipe up I see a menu of apps, which is not at all helpful since what I really want to know is how much charge is left!!! I am able to go to settings and look and it shows 83% right now but that’s pretty tedious and honestly it is one of the things I check most often. Neither a hard nor soft restart fixed it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hello jaimely275,

Please force restart your Apple Watch by pressing simultaneously the Digital Crown and the side button until the Apple logo appears (about 20 seconds.)
