Theater mode is no longer on my Watch

I used to be able to swipe up on my Iwatch to find theater mode but it is no longer there. How can I find it?

What happened to the icons when you swipe up the watch face. It had theater, flashlight etc. That was so easy and you can not find it now. You can go to the settings (which is very inconvenient) but some of the options are no longer there. Help. I can’t wear the watch to bed because it is so bright.

Swiping up to see theater mode, silent, ping the phone, etc. has disappeared from my Apple Watch. All these suggestions that I press the side button quickly do not fix this. Please someone help.

How does it not help?


Have you played with the Side Button Click Speed?


Getting the press and release timing just right can be an issue. You can make it more reliable by changing:


Settings -> Accessibility -> Side Button Click Speed


“Side Button Click Speed” can adjust the press and release timing, so you get the Control Center display every time. Adjusting The “Side Button Click Speed” is also useful for Apple Pay’s double press and release. There is “Default” (sub second timing of needed), “Slow” (up to a second between press and release), and “Slowest” (up to 2 seconds between press and release). I like the “Slow” setting.


NOTE: Slow and Slowest settings do not mean you have to wait a full second or 2 seconds between press and release. It just means you do not need to be super fast.
