After I updated my 7 series watch, I cannot access the control center by swiping up on the home screen. I did a hard reset of the watch but it did not help.
Thoughts?
All of us in this thread are experiencing the same problem-despite pressing the side button, control center will not present itself. Could we please have further trouble shooting for when the standard “press the side button” doesn’t work? I am in same position as well-this didn’t happen until the latest update and it is very bothersome as it eliminates the ability to use any control center function.
yes! This is a widely used feature often needed to be accessed quickly. Why take something away and make it so complicated?! Agree this is the worst update and I want a watch with better ping features

The Control Center can still be accessed quickly. It has not been taken away. You can still ping your watch in the exact same number of steps as before. The explanation of how the change works has been given repeatedly in this thread you apparently didn't read before posting in.

This does NOT work for me, the top button show me my apps on one push, and alarms when i push twice. The bottom button shows me apps, again, but viewed differently. Super frustrating....
I have done the update, and my side button does not bring up my control center. I have an apple apple watch 4. When I push the side button, it just brings up my list of apps.
I just figured out that pushing the button on the bottom works to bring up the control center. I had forgotten there were two buttons.
That’s fine if you have a functioning side button, but how can you now access it without a functioning side button? A broken side button is a common issue with these devices.
Oh my goodness. The SIDE BUTTON!! Thank you! I was absolutely lost.

It is? Where are you seeing that?
I have an Apple Watch seven and it doesn’t work for me either
where do we find the answer to this problem?
@colleenawms - thank you! This was actually my problem - crown vs side button.
I can not access my control center on my I watch. I never realized how much I relied on that until it was gone! Please help me get it back!!
Colleen, you are awesome. Thank you!
Unfortunately I do not have the option of side button click speed. I must have a different Apple Watch model. A light click seems to work quite well. Thanks though.
