Where is the swipe up option to locate phone after watchOS 10.1.1 update?

I absolutely hate the new Apple Watch update! Why was the swipe option for locating your phone, looking at your battery, etc. removed? I hate using the side button on the watch. Please fix this ASAP!!

Absolutely infuriating in every way!

Hate the new change. I want my old swipe up back. Any way to get it back?

Why does Apple keep interfering with things that work perfectly well? Clearly Apple Watch users HATE some of the changes in this update. They did not improve security or function or anything else. Just some tech bozo messing around. Please put it all back.

Momentarily press and release the flat oval side button.

I too was dismayed that the swipe up menu is gone, but there is Find Devices in the list of all the other things like checking for Afib, etc. Irritating not as convenient.

Momentarily press and release this button

That will bring up Control Center

Tell Apple via

https://www.apple.com/feedback/watch

If enough users provide feedback, it will reach a decision maker.

Push the bottom button on the right side and those options will appear.

Agreed ! But i am missing the swipe to do a quick DoNotDisturb as well as the find my phone! All you get when swiping down is notification info. Dumb!

DO NOT hold the button, as that brings up the emergency calling display.

You can tell Apple what changes you would like to see in a future watchOS release via

https://www.apple.com/feedback/watch

The more users that send feedback, the more likely it will reach a decision maker.

I was on the phone with Apple for an hour yesterday. You can’t uninstall it. You have to get to the controls by the side button now. However, after the update, my side button no longer responds so now nothing works on the watch. The side button does everything now. I ended up having to buy a new watch. We tried a reset from my phone using an old backup and nothing! Hope your side button still works or you have an Apple Store nearby. My closest one is an hour away! It’s infuriating

I loved the battery indicator on the swipe-up! Help! I don’t like this update at all!!

how do i get the swipe down screen to find my iphone ? the recent update now shows my calendar😳

I have copied BobHarris's post from above:

Use Control Center on Apple Watch - Apple Support

This will give you the Control Center that swipe up used to give you, and all the same services.

DO NOT hold the button, as that will bring up the Emergency services display.

You removed a convenience factor that many folks used. I found it user friendly and the convenience factor was great. Now this is the dumb move on Apples Part. PLEASE RETURN THE SWIPE UP FEATURE ASAP.

1) You can still access the Control Center by tapping the side button. It's the flat, oval button next to the Digitial Crown.

2) No one reading here in this user-to-user forum can RETURN anything so, yelling here is pointless. You can, however, let Apple know your thoughts here:

The only way I have found to now pinging my phone from my Watch after the new update is to go to the Find My devices on my watch and pinging it that way. Very inconvenient.!

DO NOT hold the button, as that brings up the Emergency services data display.

The iPhone ping icon should be in the Control Center list of services.

If the iPhone ping is not there, scroll to the end and tap “Edit”, where you should be able to add it to the Control Center.

Not on mine! I get the emergency sos option!!!!

A single tap. DO NOT hold the button, or it will bring up the Emergency calling display.

Single Tap - Control Center

Quick double Tap - Apple Wallet

Tap and hold - Emergency calling, Medical Information and the ability to power off your Apple Watch
