Apple Watch Update

Apple screwed up a good thing with the latest Apple watch update. You can't simply scroll down to the flashlight, find a phone, etc. Please correct this major mistake and reinstate the previous shortcuts.

iPhone 6, iOS 12

The Control Center has moved to the flat oval side button (see picture)

Use Control Center on Apple Watch - Apple Support


A quick press and release will bring up the Control Center, where you will find all the services you had with a swipe up.


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


If you have problems with the quick press and release timing, play with Settings-> Accessibility-> Side Button Click Speed (you will need to scroll a bit to find it)
