NO side swipe Apple watch

Updated both iPhone(13pro) & Apple watch(5) yesterday. Latest iOS in both. Watch swipes up n down just fine but doesn’t swipe left or right, at all. I’ve done a basic forced shutdown(both) and restart, phone first then watch. Still no side swipe.

Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 10

Apple Watch won't swipe up since latest iOS update When swiping up, I don't get the control centre, but the weather, calendar etc. I used to be able to see the torch, airplane mode but not now. I have turned off watch, I have reset it and I have unpaired it. I have turned off haptics and back on again but still nothing. Very frustrating as it was working before update.

Thanks Vancouver!

But Apple has some splainin to do.

Why go from a simple single swipe, to a three gesture move. It’s very cumbersome. 🤨

Head scratcher for me! 🤔
