Swipe L or R not working after watch OS upgrade

If you’re looking to switch between faces, it’s changed. It’s one extra action of long pressing the face first, then you can swipe.

Customize the watch face - Apple Support

if you’re looking for Control Center, you no longer swipe up - press the side button.

This is an unfortunate update. I swipe between my faces quite often for different things. I hope Apple changes this

The change is soo annoying. I cannot fit enough complications on 1 screen. I am frequently switching faces to get to a desired complication.

Suggestion, add a face with 6 or 8 complications.

If you prefer the swipe left/right method, please send feedback to Apple via:

Change the watch face on your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Now send that suggestion to Apple via

Feedback - Watch - Apple

The more users that send feedback, the more likely it will be seen by a decision maker.

watchOS 10.2 re-enables left/right watch face swiping

• Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch.

• Scroll down and choose “Clock”.

• Toggle on the “Swipe to Switch Face” setting.

Champion. Thanks!

Thank you for the answers to this. I actually prefer this extra step as I have accidentally switched the watch face many many times in the past.

You’re welcome.
