CONTROL PANEL MISSING.

Control Panel missing after update on iPhone and watch. I know can use side button but that takes too long.

Control panel which we saw before update is missing on iPhone and watch. I know you can get it by pressing side button, but that is a much more difficult way to do the various controls. It was so much easier before. Finding my iPhone with my watch was so efficient before and silencing phone in movie etc so easy. Why was this taken away and what is easier solution. Thank you.

Its actually called Control Center, not Control Panel. To open Control Center on iPhone, you simply swipe down from the top right hand corner of the iPhone screen.

To open Control Center on Apple Watch, you tap the power button.

Control Center on iPhone has been this way for some time and this is not new. Tapping the the side power button on Apple Watch is new, but it's hardly difficult to tap a button as opposed to swiping on the watch screen.

If you don't like this, we are not Apple. This is a user to user only forum. No one here had anything to do with UI design on either devices. You are more than welcome to provide your thoughts to Apple via this link --> Product Feedback - Apple
