I just updated my Apple Watch 10 to watchOS 10.0.1 The swiping motions on the watch now bring different 'option' panels. "Swipe-up" no longer shows the same functions (battery %, vibrate phone, theater mode, etc). Where can I learn how to control my watch with OS 10?
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
Hi, I frequently and I mean frequently swiped up on my Apple Watch to see the battery percentage, to ping my phone, turn sounds on and off, etc. Now I have to change those settings by pressing the side button 😞 Is there anyway I can change back to a swipe up to see those settings? I have also turned my automatic updates off, so this will not happen again. I believe this happened when my Apple Watch updated to the new operating system.

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.
Apple Watch -> Settings -> Accessibility -> AssistiveTouch can be used to access things like:
o Control Center
o Apple Pay
o Emergency Services and the Power Off icon (labeled "Hold Side Button")
o and many other things...
Use AssistiveTouch on Apple Watch - Apple Support
AssistiveTouch is another way to get into Control Center without needing to use the flat oval side button.
And IdrisSeabright has given you some "Hey Siri" commands you can use.

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.
Have you told Apple what you'd like to see?

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.
Going back is not currently an option.

I have an absolutely MIND-BLOWING suggestion...simply make the swipe up screen a customizable option.
Tell Apple what you'd like to see:
Note that Apple has a long and well known history of not offering lots of customization options.

I finally got the side button to work to bring up the missing functions, but it is inconvenient since it also too easily triggers the SOS function.
Play with
Settings-> Accessibility-> Side Button Click Speed
That should make it easier to do
Hope this helps everyone. The first step in "Press the side button" is the old swipe up.
I hope in the next update they change it back to swipe up.
I hate this change. Isn’t there a way to restore it how it was?!?
This is soooo annoying. I used the swipe functions all the time and I don’t need any of the apps. Can this be changed back. I know you can press side button but not as discreet or fast.
No that just brings yo the emergency call
On left side of watch there are two thin buttons. Press lower button. Press Digital Crown to return. Previous method was better.
Swipe-up no longer shows the same features/functions on Apple Watch after the update
