Open control center not working even after force restart

My watch will no longer let me open the control center by swiping up from the bottom of the screen. This happened after the most recent update. I did a forced restart which did not help

I believe that you are looking for the Control Center on your Apple Watch which you were once able to get to by just swiping up on the face of your Apple Watch. In watchOS 10, swiping up from the bottom of the watch screen opens the Smart Stack – a new screen with rectangular widgets showing you information at a glance.


Here is how to get to the Control Center that you are accustomed to using:

Open or close Control Center

  • Open Control Center: Press the side button once.
  • Close Control Center: With Control Center open, turn your wrist away from you or press the side button again.
