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

I HATE the update! I want to just swipe up to find my phone! Pressing the crown, finding the “find my devices” waiting for my watch to connect, then press make sound! 😫

BRING BACK SWIPE UP!

I cannot believe that someone thinks that removing the swipe up function and moving its function to the side button is a benefit.

The swipe up now duplicates things that I can ready get elsewhere

Please bring back the original swipe up function

But it was so much easier just to swipe up. Why does Apple continually have to take things that work and change them?

To improve them. The swipe up did not work if you were using an app and not viewing the watchface display. Pushing the button works both on the watchface and also when an app is using the screen.

And it is NOT easier. It is exactly the same number of motions. Swipe up and press a button take exactly the same effort. If anything the button is easier, because sometimes a swipe doesn’t work.

Apple does not read this user-to-user technical support forum for feedback.

But you can send Apple feedback via:

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

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.

It’s described in the release news for Watch 10: watchOS 10 - Apple. Of course, no one actually reads release notes 😏

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.

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!

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.!

Or, you could follow the directions in the post immediately above yours and learn how to access the Control Center. Just a thought.
