Ping my iPhone with the updated Apple Watch OS

Just installed Apple Watch new OS 10.1.1 on my series 4 Apple Watch. I cannot find the control to ping my iPhone to locate it. Does anyone know how to get to that easy command that used to be available by swiping down.? I use this more than any other feature

Access to the Control Center, which contains "Ping" Mode can be accessed by using the Watch "Side Button." According to Use the buttons and screen on your Apple Watch:

Press the side button

  • Press to show or hide Control Center.
  • Press and hold to use Emergency SOS.
  • Double-click to use Apple Pay.
  • Press and hold to turn your watch on or off. 

If you have Apple Watch Ultra or later, you can customize the Action button to access your favorite features quickly.

If you haven't updated watchOS, learn how to use the side button.
