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

Perfect. Worked like a charm. Thanks for the info. Very much appreciated!!

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.

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!

Press the side button on your Apple Watch for "Control Center". You should be able to see the "Ping iPhone" button from there.

Thank you for somewhat of a fix, but we do want it back like it used to be where you just swiped to get the screen! Bring it back!!!

Thank you, got the smile back!

Thank you !! I have been trying to figure this out all morning

If you swipe up and then push the long oval button, it shows the old swipe up menu with the flashlight, ping your iPhone, etc. 🙂

You don't need to swipe first. Just push the oval button.

I, too was dismayed but no worries. Long hold the oval button on the side and release; you should see footsteps (Compass Backtrack and SOS Emergency Call) press the side (oval) again and voila!! You have it back :)

As watch 10.11 has taken off the 2 things for which I

bought my Apple by swiping Find my phone and wallet. Is it possible to go back to an earlier version and install that in order to get these 2 things

back

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.

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

thank you Bob for that information. I too was losing my mind trying to find those features. It’s not a problem on my phone as that button still works but I can’t imagine if that button didn’t work how infuriating it would be some of the updates are unnecessary and made the Watch harder to use.

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. This is ridiculously dumb! 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.

Thanks! I know this is where you access it after the update. I also had to play the "panic" game with emergency services while trying to make access the panel. I have a screen protector on my watch face which makes it difficult to press the button. The swipe feature was so handy - I used it multiple times a day. I wish they would bring it back.
