Swipe-up no longer shows the same features/functions on Apple Watch after the update

Did anyone find a solution for this? I ping my phone with the swipe up method 10 times a day. I can't even find that feature after the update. Pressing the side button does not give me the same screen of shortcuts. Where did it go?

What do you see when you press the side button? If you see the SOS screen, it means your pressing and holding. Just tap the button.

how do you retrain your brain when you have crippling arthritis? the side button is not easily pushed but the swipe up is effortless we all know how to access the information we are all asking to at least give us the option it maybe a minor change for some. but for others it’s a major change.

At least let me choose what I can do on swipe up.

Find my phone feature was my go to when I needed my misplaced phone.

now I have to push and tediously scroll. What is the point of repeating in the scroll up what I can already have on my watch face?

not an improvement but a BIG disappointment.

I don’t want to press the flat button on the side . I want my watch to stay the same . Due to this update when you swipe up there is another screen of faces. The added swipe up screen decreases your battery charge time . It is only forcing people to buy newer watches.

imnor happy with the changes either I preferred the swip up function and by them putting it on the side button it has made it difficult to close apps in the background now. Having to double click the crown can be a pain on the ultra. I hope they listen and change it back or at least give us the option to set up what the buttons do and the ability to change what swipe up does so they meet our needs, likes and wants.

The swipe feature change on the apple watch with the last update is not very useful. I have cancelled automatic updates because I am disgusted with this change. On top of the inconvenience, now I look at my watch and see the date and time. Then I swipe up and 1/2 the watch face is again date and time. I can't figure out how to replace the date and time with something useful, like "find my iphone" on the previous version. Yes, I realize that I can currently get the prior version by pushing the button, but why not have something more useful with the simple swipe gesture. I can press the crown and get all the aps. Yes, I have added some aps to that swipe feature. Can someone help me get the "call my iphone feature back on the swipe up gesture? And get rid of the dead space occupied by date and time.

Same level of ‘frequently’ here! I’m so mad. The same thing happened to me. I just want it to go back.

The Control Center is still there. You just access it by pressing the side button (the flat oval button next to the digital crown).

It may be your preference, but it's still considered rude. It's some people's preference to use obscenities in public conversations but that's still rude, too.

And, it's harder to read then sentence case.

It was completely natural to do a quick swipe up to see the battery status and then swipe right back down the get back to the watch face.

It is also completely natural to press the oval side button to see battery status, then press it again to go back to the watch face. And, guess what? You can press the Side button even if there isn’t a watch face displayed, but instead there is some other app such as Weather, Workout, or any other app on your watch. Isn’t that AMAZING, and a really useful feature!

I also came here to say I don’t like how the swipe up feature was changed! We should have the ability to change this feature. I hope Apple listens to this feedback and changes it back. Wish I had not done the update!

And I post in this thread to say that I LOVE the change that Apple made in moving the Control Center to the oval button on the side of the phone. I no longer have to stop my workout and go back to the watch face to swipe up for the control center, then swipe down to close it, then find and re-open the Workout app. Instead I just press the button, select the control center feature I want, then press it again to go right back to the workout! And this works with ANY app I have on the Phone screen, be it Music, Camera remote, or any other app.

That is exactly what I had in mind. I originally had typed "Sometimes the answer is "no," but I was afraid it might be unclear.

Lawrence and Idris,

Sorry, let me clarify my response. I did not word it properly.

I meant the users on this site do not seem to be listening regarding sending product feedback directly to Apple. I agree with you and others suggesting users to send their feedback to Apple instead of hammering the point over and over on a user to user forum.

I do not have an issue with the change and I am assuming many others don't either.

My apologies! Can you tell I get a bit frustrated? ;-)
