17.0 Update Problem

Prior to this 17.0 update, I could swipe up on my Apple watch, tap the phone icon, and my phone would “sing” so I could find it.


SINCE the update, when I swipe up on the watch, there’s a new bunch of junk I don’t want…like a clock, activity report, etc…but no phone icon anywhere. So I can’t find my phone…one of the main reasons I got a watch!


How do I get the phone icon back on when I swipe up???

It is not press and hold. It is just press and release the oval side button.


Control Center has moved to the oval button on the side of your Apple Watch. Press it once.
