Control Center disappeared from Apple Watch SE after update.

After the last Apple Watch OS update, Control Center disappeared from my SE watch. I did a soft reset and then a hard reset, and neither worked. I even tried wiping my watch and reinstalling everything, but still no Control Center. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks!

Apple Watch SE, watchOS 10

to bring control panel, you need to press side button (the one below round bottom). Control panel doesn’t swipe up anymore like it used to, I guess it was changed with the new update. I did everything too, only took me 2hr to figure it out…

Oh, the Apple Watch update is awful. And the new iOS on my phone keeps draining the battery. There's all sorts of tips for turning off all the useful things that you get an iPhone for in order to not drain the battery, but that kind of defeats the purpose.

Apple does not read this user-to-user technical support forum for feedback.


But you can send Apple feedback via:

Feedback - Watch - Apple


If enough users send feedback, it is more likely a decision maker will see it, and maybe take action.

When I press the side button I just get a list of apps not the control panel. Thank you

I think you may be pressing the wrong button. It sounds as if you're tapping the Digital Crown, not the side button. The side button is the flat oval button next to the Digital Crown. It's almost flush with the bezel. If you go back through this thread, you'll even find pictures.
