I need guidance on how I can use my Apple Watch after the iOS 10.1.1 update

Well, as an older disabled person I find the most recent update of the Watch much more user friendly. Pressing the Side button for the Control Center is much more intuitive and useful than trying to swipe up from the bottom of a watch face for the same purpose, an action I miss about 50% of the time. The button I get every time.

And I’m surprised you had to do a Google search on how to use it, when there was a link right on the update page to this→What’s new in Apple Watch and watchOS 10 - Apple Support

sooooo disappointing

bad move with this update Apple

Apple does not read this user-to-user technical support forum for feedback.

But you can send Apple feedback via:

Feedback - Watch - Apple

If enough users send feedback, it is more likely a decision maker will see it, and maybe take action.

The Find My Phone feature is part of the Control Center. The Control Center is now activated by 1 press of the side button.

Is there a way to revert back to the way it was before the 10.1 update?

How can I find my phone now? With previous version of watch it was very convenient. Now I have to scroll through settings but even then the "Find my device" is not working the way it did before.

100%…workout used to come up when I last used it…now I’ve got to scroll every time to use it…a real step backwards and completely counterintuitive…

Someone took my Apple Watch

Well, Mr Gatekeeper, like many others in this thread I am voicing my dissatisfaction in a public forum. If you don't like what people post, ignore it.

Yessss!! I loved having the most used apps at easy access!! Now you have to swipe up and can only have three

Why would you have updates that made the Apple Watch less user friendly!! I’m very disappointed that it that’s several steps to find my phone!!! Who thought this was a good idea? UGH!!!

Monkies are usually pretty quick to catch on and figure things out!

This update has made it more likely for me to throw my watch against a wall rather than use it.

I understand the watch face issue, and the fix although not great is easy enough to do……however for those of us that would use the button to quickly look up recently used apps such as health rings, and possibly not the best eye sight….ITS A PAIN!

Being asked if pausing or stopping exercise is what you want to do is a plus….. but over all not impressed

Steps no longer appears on my watch after this update. Rings - yes, but not steps taken. If I want to see my steps, I have to go back to my iPhone. WTF?? I hate this update. Makes me want to ditch the watch.

So now, I have to hit a side button, scroll to find the app I want to use (even though it’s right there on my watch face) and then use the app. I used to tell everyone they should get an Apple Watch, and now, I feel like it’s lost all the star qualities I used. What is the point of having the app icons on the watch face if you can’t tap on them and use them instantly??? Almost worthless. I’ve had one since they first came out and now, I’m not even thinking about a new one. I’m so bummed!!
