Find My iPhone button on my Apple Watch is gone

Are you sure you're pressing the correct button? Sounds like you're pressing the round (top) one, if you're getting a list of apps. It's the button below that, the oval one that is flush with the side of the watch.

You can edit it, too, bring the phone icon to the top of the screen (although mine was there right from the beginning).

This is the worst update removing my find phone swipe up… change it back! I see numerous messages on here with the same complaint-why would Apple remove this and no I don’t need a work around and yes I have used the work around and it’s terrible the swipe up was so easy. I’m ready now to back to a conventional watch (Rolex) this stinks

i miss that swipe and play the sound button SO much! it was the feature that got me to get the **** watch in the first place!! truly, i saw someone do it and i was like, oh that’s gonna save me 10 minutes a day! and now it’s gone….

i miss the percentage of battery on that little swipe up screen as well…

oh, the good old days…

No, neither of those features is gone. Had you read any of this thread you're posting it, you'd see how to access those features in exactly the same number of steps as before.

Lawrence Finch I only see how to go through another step to get to the control center rather than just scrolling up from the main screen. I'd like to see the control center screen by scrolling up. I can't seem to find how to do that in the 14 pages you mention. Can you help?

You are correct. However when I press that button nearly every icon on my phone scrolls up. No simple button to push to find my phone. Once in awhile something will scroll up and then it says I’m not connected and it will play sound when connected. I never had that issue before. It always made my phone play a sound. Now it hardly ever plays a sound and I have to spend a lot of time hunting my phone.

Thank you - I’ve nearly driven myself mad trying to sort out the (mainly irrelevant, but you can’t remove them - how frustrating) ) apps on my watch to find that really useful ‘ping phone’ on the ‘missing’ control face.

You’ve shown me how to do it when ‘genius’ in Apple Store didn’t know what I was talking about 😹

note to Apple -1) PLEASE make it an easier option to have control centre on a screen swipe rather than button push for those of us in disabled community without the ‘pushing small button’ functionality!

2) please allow option to remove app icons we don’t use (ie I need to plan my ‘cycle’ nor want ‘mindfulness’) from the watch face

This latest Watch update has eliminated features LIKETHE PHONE ICON. YOU USED TO BE ABLE TO SWIPE UP FROM BOTTM LEFT OF PHONE TO EAISLY FIND I PHONE. I have used the Find my Phone feature 20X A DAY. My phone gets placed in various spots around the home and even outside. THIS IS A MUST! MUST! MUST!ON WATCH PLEASE INSTALL THIS BACK ASAP. THIS IS MY MOST USED BUTTON

This information was helpful and I now know why it changed and how to find it, BUT, when I push the find my iphone button, my phone does not ping. This has all happened since I got a new phone...ugggg! Can anyone tell me how to get my phone to ping again when I try to locate it? Thanks!

Maybe you can help, what if hitting that button brings up recent apps used instead of the control center? My watch brings up the control center, but my coworkers does not, and we can't figure out how to to get it. Thanks!

I hate this change! I can do it the other way but it is not nearly as easy and the chime continues to blare instead of just doing one sequence of music.

How do I access and find Control Center on my watch?

HATE IT, TOO!

But do you have to push the other button every time instead of swiping up.

Please change it back to the original availability
