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!
