With the newest update for the Apple Watch, I can’t find the easy way to ping my iPhone. Any suggestions?

HELP, This feature, swiping my watch face up to find my iPhone was the best part of having an Iwatch.

Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 10

Momentarily press and release the flat oval side button

NOT the round rotating Digital Crown.

I hate the new watch iOS update version done today!!! I can no longer swipe up on the clock face and ping my IPhone. That feature was the best part of my Iwatch and now it is no longer there!! NOT HAPPY!!

The process requires a quick tap on the button, not a tap and hold.

Thanks for replying. Yes, I know how to access the control center but they’re only two choices: Medical ID or emergency call. Neither gives me access to pinging my iPhone. Any other suggestions?
