Anyone know where the swipe up alarm to find iPhone is on iWatch now? Or if it's coming back? It was so convenient to swipe up and hear the alarm tone and quickly go grab my phone. Easily one of the top 3 things I used on my watch daily. I miss that so much - saved me so much time! (I'm not talking about the locate app). Thanks in advance.
Apple Watch Series 6, watchOS 10
Use Control Center on Apple Watch - Apple Support describes how to access the Control Center after installing watchOS 10.
Open or close Control Center
Press the side button
If you have Apple Watch Ultra or later, you can customize the Action button to access your favorite features quickly.

The swipe up function has been mored to the flat oval side button (see picture)

A Quick press and release will bring up the Control Center, where you will see the iPhone ping icon that can be used to help locate your iPhone.
DO NOT hold the button, as that will bring up the Emergency services display.

The previous Control Center swipe-up has moved to a quick press and release of the flat oval side button

DO NOT hold the button, as that brings up Emergency services and the power off icon.
Control Center should then show you the iPhone ping icon (find my iPhone), Battery percentage, Flashlight, Water Lock, Airplane mode, Alarm silence, Theater mode, and all the other Control Center services.
An alternate way to get some of the Control Center services is:
“Hey Siri, find my iPhone”
“Hey Siri, Flashlight”
“Hey Siri, Battery”
“Hey Siri, Airplane mode”
Getting the press and release timing just right can be an issue. You can make it more reliable by changing:
Apple Watch -> Settings -> Accessibility -> Side Button Click Speed
After changing this I never accidentally get the Emergency Services display.
“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 press and release timing 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. And as I said, I do not accidentally get the wrong display.
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.
If the flat oval side button is giving you difficulties, then look at
Use AssistiveTouch on Apple Watch - Apple Support
Apple Watch -> Settings -> Accessibility -> AssistiveTouch
can be used to access things like:
o Control Center
o Apple Pay
o Emergency Services and the Power Off icon (labeled “Hold Side Button”)
o and many other things...
Thank you so much. I probably wouldn’t wear an iwatch but for this feature.
Thank you - so much!!
You are welcome.
You are welcome.
