I am infuriated by the Apple Watch update that has deleted the swipe up option for finding phone, silent mode etc and replaced with weather, moon phases etc.
It’s BS! Apple, sort it out and do another update to bring back the best features of an Apple Watch!
Apple is not here. This is a user-to-user technical support forum.
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.
The previous Control Center swipe-up has moved to a quick press and release of the flat oval side button (see picture)
Use Control Center on Apple Watch - Apple Support
DO NOT hold the button, as that brings up Emergency services and the power off icon.
Getting the press and release timing just right can be an issue. You can make it more reliable by changing:
Settings -> Accessibility -> Side Button Click Speed
“Side Button Click Speed” can adjust the press and release timing, so you get the Control Center display every time. Adjusting The “Side Button Click Speed” is also useful for Apple Pay’s double press and release. There is “Default” (sub second timing of needed), “Slow” (up to a second between press and release), and “Slowest” (up to 2 seconds between press and release). I like the “Slow” setting.
NOTE: Slow and Slowest settings do not mean you have to wait a full second or 2 seconds between press and release. It just means you do not need to be super fast.
