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

Despite what you keep saying, tapping on that dot does NOT bring up the Control Center. The Control Center is accessed by tapping the side button, which is the flat, oval button next to the Digital Crown.

I don’t like the new updates either, the swipe button to Find my iPhone was so useful.

The SIDE button to Find my iPhone is much more useful, because you can press it even when you are not displaying a watch face.

There is a dot on top of the screen, tap on it (do not swipe) tap and the old swipe screen should show up.

Click the button on the side, underneath the circle and it brings up the control system that allows you to ping your phone!! It’s a hidden button.

I too hate new update. But to ping to find iPhone with Apple Watch you how need to press and release side flat button on watch.

If you click on the button under the dial, it will bring up the old swipe screen.

Hope that helps!

That doesn’t show the battery level.

Momentarily press and release the flat oval side button (see picture)

If the battery level is not present in the Control Center, then scroll to the end and tap “Edit”, then add battery lrvel to Control Center.

That is incorect.

Well it is kind-of correct , if you are talking about the old swipe-up Control Center display, then the dial being the Digital Crown, and the button under it being the flat oval side button.

Hit the little yellow dot on top of the screen. That is where my when. I was upset for 4 days

Tap quickly instead of holding the button.

But you can send Apple feedback via:

Feedback - Watch - Apple

If enough users send feedback, it is more likely a decision maker will see it, and maybe take action.

Yes! I sent feedback and said that I really like the improvement in the watch user interface; moving the Control Center to the Side button was brilliant! It means that I can open the Control Center from any app, not just a watch face. Especially useful when using the Workout app.

The easiest way to find you iPhone is to … “Hey Siri Find My iPhone” … this will find your iPhone automatically and play the sound too! All without having to push anything.

It moved to the side button. Why? I do not know. I can't help you anymore.

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.!
