Hello whippvi,

Thanks for asking the Apple Support Communities about pinging your iPhone.

In watchOS 10, Control Center where you can ping your iPhone can be accessed by pressing the side button once. You will see the icon which represents pinging your iPhone. Please take a look at the guidance here for more details: Use Control Center on Apple Watch - Apple Support

Let us know if that doesn't work, and what happens instead.

Thanks.
