This sucks, I am glad they removed it. Optional, cool?

can we please fix the audio player. please god bring “on iphone” back
They should switch the swipe up for the widget Smart Stack with the lateral button for the control center…
Why does it matter, after the update all you have to do is hold down the center of the screen for a second and then swipe. Why the big deal?
I really liked this feature, but my toddler constantly changes the face when playing with my watch. So I may have to leave it off :(
finally lol
Now can all the snobby naysayers shut up?
Every time this issue was raised people would come out of the woodwork to ridicule OP as “lazy” for wanting the clearly faster gesture to return. Turns out the company they white knight for disagreed with them, you love to see it.
Yes!
Can we please get back the old fitness and wearher app looks. The new ones are just horrible to use.
Can we get swipe up for CC back too?
wait for 10.3 beta 3
/s
*probably*
Thanks but I’m good. I no longer accidentally swipe through watch faces when I’m leaning with hands behind my back chatting with coworkers.
I’m never updating my watch to os 10, will stay in 9 as long as I can.
Maybe focus on the real issues?
Amazing how fast something this...minimal...would/could come back.
A 5 second gesture becoming a 0.5 second one isn’t minimal.
Sweet. Now let's get the Dock back, please.
Oh it was gone? This explains so much
Well well well
Yay!!!
Fix the fucking Weather complication Apple. That shit has not worked for me since 10.1 upgrade and there are thousands of complaints online
Still can’t control my lights with the watch since OS10.
Hallelujah. Now give us back double clicking the crown to go back to the previous app and Ill be happy.
fucking. this.
Now revert the double clicking crown to bring back last app.
Or better yet just revert watchOS 10 to watchOS 9.
I used that feature all the time and now it opens that stupid dock thingy.
Not even the dock. The dock no longer exists and it was a vital part of my navigation. It just brings up recent apps.
So it’s an optional toggle.
Nice. I really wish Apple would give us more of those.
Yup, I wish Apple did this with everything. For ex, the change they did on iOS 11 with the CC (when you were not able to disable the Wifi from the CC anymore) should have been disabled/enabled with a toggle too
My kids used to swipe my face all the time so I prefer the new interface. I’m glad they are bringing it back for those that are upset. I’m just glad it’s optional and yes, Apple needs to get over their fear of options.
This is all I wanted. I hate the feature, will make sure it's always off on my watches but happy for those who wanted it back.
I personally like not having the swipe, but what i love even more is options to choose what I like.
Give us more toggles for everything instead of dumbing everything down.
Option
This is the most surprising part
Apple letting people decide how their device works? That is actually surprising
