I just upgraded my series 8 watch to OS26, and suddenly the water lock feature is missing, I tried looking in the add icon thing and it is not showing in there either.

Original Title: Waterlock missing
Apple Watch Series 8, watchOS 26
Press the side Button to open Control Panel
Scroll to the bottom and hit EDIT
Hit the (+) tool to add a new button
scroll down and look for the water droplet.
It’s there in WatchOS26, I just checked. However most users don’t really need a manual Water Lock because it is also activated automatically. Contrary to popular belief it does nothing for water resistance except to lock the screen. The only time it is really useful is to lock again then unlock to activate water clearing from the speaker if the first attempt was not adequate.

The icon was taken off completely , it is just showing a blank spot now.
I am missing the Water Lock feature on Apple Watch after OS26 update
