Can anyone tell me where my favorite friends are on the new upgrade? It used to come up by pressing the side button

Hi

Under watchOS 3, the Friends feature, which was available under prior versions, is no longer included and there is no direct replacement for it.

When placing calls or sending new messages, contacts can instead be selected via the Phone and Messages apps or by using Siri:

• Messages: https://help.apple.com/watch/#/apd92a90f882
• Calls: https://help.apple.com/watch/#/apdc38d7a95e

If you would like to request that Apple considers restoring Friends to watchOS, you can submit the form here, choosing "feature request" as the feedback type:

That feature has gone with the iOS 3 update.

I never would have done the update if I had known my friends would disappear. It took all the fun out of my watch. Now I need glasses to find a contact.
