Where has the Ping iPhone icon gone??

As soon as my Apple Watch updated to iOS 10, the swipe up control panel is now completely different and there is no iPhone ping icon anywhere on this watch. I’ve been looking for an hour. This is an important feature of the Apple Watch! What happened to it?

Apple Watch SE, watchOS 10

Since you upgraded to watchOS 10 access to the Control Center, and has changed. You will find the "ping" icon using the following advice.

"Open or close Control Center

  • Open Control Center: Press the side button once.
  • Close Control Center: With Control Center open, turn your wrist away from you or press the side button again.""
