Previous version pressing side button would open current apps list.
after watchOS10 upgrade, now side button opens the control painel.
Its pretty bad change in my opinion. I dont know how no one pointed this out in during beta.
can we have this rolledback or a feature in settings to decided what side button does?
cheers
You are NOT speaking with Apple here. This is a user to user only forum. No one from Apple is here. Just other users.
No, it cannot be changed. And while you may not like it, I think its great. Every year, Apple releases new software for each of their products. Things change and honestly, most of the time someone doesn't like the change is because it's different and motor-memory has one doing what was previously the way to do something. In only a couple days, I've gotten used to the new changes and think they're actually pretty good.
Since you don't like them, feel free to provide feedback to Apple but don't expect a response nor honestly this to be changed back to how it was --> Feedback - Watch - Apple
Ps: In my office, there are a number of Apple Watch users. Most everyone I've spoken with actually find the changes to be welcome.

I just found out double press the crow to get the current apps list. Why cluster the device with all this actions. cant we have a simple way to work with a small device? I don't get all this gestures and multiple actions. More actions more mistakes and more complex it gets to use the watch apps.
Side down - notifications
Side up - widgets
Crow press - app list
Crow double press - current app list
Side press - control painel
Side double press - apple pay
As someone who does beta seed testing for Apple, I thought that we did a pretty good job of ironing out the bugs. I like the new watchOS!
Aside from obvious spelling errors, you appear to have the functions available on the Watch down pretty well. You'll be doing it from memory and muscle memory in no time!
Everything that the watch does is why most folks buy it. Getting it to do all of those things with such a simple input interface; two buttons, one which also rotates and a touch screen requires multiple actions for each part of the interface. I think Apple has done a remarkable job for such a small device.

Make purchases with Apple Watch - Apple Support
So many bad changes in WatchOS 10. Removed favorite timers. Seems like many of the features that remain take more taps to access. Does not seem like a step forward.
Maybe it's me, but I don't see version 10 listed on that feedback page. Interesting...
It usually takes a while for new stuff to be listed.

WatchOS10 Change Side Button Function
