You can open the Control Center on your Apple Watch in a couple of easy ways, especially with watchOS 10.
There are two primary methods to access the Control Center:
-
Using the Side Button:
- Simply press the side button on your Apple Watch once. This is the button located below the Digital Crown.
- This action will immediately bring up the Control Center interface, showing various toggles and settings like Wi-Fi, battery percentage, silent mode, and more.
-
Tapping an Icon (watchOS 10):
- In watchOS 10, if you see an icon at the very top of your screen, you can tap it.
- Tapping this icon will also reveal the Control Center. This icon might appear when you have notifications or other status indicators.
Both methods provide quick access to essential settings you might need to adjust frequently without navigating through the main apps.
Here's a quick summary:
| Method | Action | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Side Button | Press the physical button on the side | Works universally |
| Top Screen Icon | Tap the icon at the top of the display | Specific to watchOS 10 status bar |
Using the side button is the most consistent and reliable way to open Control Center across different watch faces and screens.
