How to Open the WatchOS Control Center
Your Apple Watch Control Center is available only from your Apple Watch main screen, which is the screen with the clock that appears when you first click the watch’s Digital Crown or flick your wrist to look at the watch. To open the Control Center, swipe up from bottom to top on your Apple Watch’s main screen. You’ll see your Apple Watch Control center. Scroll down to see more options.
Use the Control Center’s Shortcut Buttons
The Control Panel offers shortcuts to give you quick access to Apple Watch features. Some features, such as the flashlight, are available only through the Control Panel, while others are shortcuts to other apps or settings.
Check Your Watch’s Status via the Control Center
The Apple Watch Control Center gives you insight into how your wearable is working, which is helpful if you’re troubleshooting a problem. To check your Apple Watch’s status quickly, look at the upper-left corner of the Control Center screen. You’ll see a green phone if your Watch is successfully paired with your iPhone. You’ll see a red phone with a line through it if you’ve lost your connection. You’ll see a blue arrow at the upper-right corner of the screen if an app or complication recently used location services. If you’re using Wi-Fi instead of your iPhone, the blue Wi-Fi image will appear here.
