Question

Apple Watch app view icon disappears while switching views

I used to be able to switch between list and grid app views by scrolling to the bottom of the view and tapping the “list” icon (see screenshot). But for a while now, after scrolling to the bottom the screen, when I take my finger off the screen in order to tap the icon, the screen rebounds up slightly (Apple’s standard “elastic” effect), so the icon moves out of view, and I can’t tap it. I know I can switch views in Settings, but I want to be able to use the icon to do it quickly. I have tried restarting my watch, which did not fix the problem. It’s an Apple Watch Series 7 running WatcOS 11.2. Any ideas?

Unfortunately, that delivers even worse results. Only the top 1/4" of the icon appears, and that is only when I'm actually holding the digital crown. The moment my finger leaves it to try to reach the icon, it disappears off the bottom of the display. There's no way I could possibly touch it.

Changing the view using my phone is even more inconvenient than using the Settings app on the watch, which I have already said is unacceptably inconvenient.

Try scrolling using the digital crown instead of swiping on the screen.

Or you can always change using the Watch app on your iPhone.
