how do I ping my phone now?

I just updated my watch to the latest and greatest and the control center seems to be gone when I swipe up now. I need to ping my phone all the time and I am in horror that I can't do this feature anymore. Where did it go?


Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 8

Press the side button on your Apple Watch to enter the control center and to ping your iPhone. This method has changed to this way in watchOS 10
