Since updating to iOS 17 I cannot ping my phone using my watch. I used to be able to swipe up or down (I cannot remember) on my watch and there was a phone icon I could use to ping. Now it’s gone. 😢 HELP!

Hi AnanceRN,
It sounds like you're on watchOS 10, which has changed how Control Center is opened.
Press the side-button on your Apple Watch to open Control Center and ping your iPhone:
Hope this helps!
It doesn't for me--I am on latest version (I think 10) of watch OS.
Wry helpful! Thank you 🙌
use Siri on your watch, “Hey Siri, alert my phone”. Takes a sec but works!
Thank you!!🙏🏻
Perfect! Thanks for your polite, easy, clear answer that worked!🙌
After spending 2 hours trying to find the ping app my swipe up has now reappeared on my watch..........
I'm VERY confused. But happy it is back
Thanks so much for the answer to my PING question👌🏼👍🏽
Thank you! I have been frustrated for days!!!
I agree at least the swipe up to access it. It the thing I used the most.😞
Mine just brings up the apps. I can not access control center. Not sure why they would change such a useful feather.😞
side button does not work
tapping oval button does nothing for me just asks for pin and takes me to main screen. Why did they change something that was perfect the way it was!!
Yes thanks, I’m totally aware they don’t read forums.
