New Update: how to ping phone, please help! (alien.top)

Someone please help me, I’m losing my mind! Before the update, I used to be able to drag the menu from the bottom and there would be gray ovals with various symbols, one of which pinged your iPhone to make it make a sound. As someone who often losses their phone, I used this button nearly every day. Now on the new update, I can not find this feature for the life of me. How do I access it or get it back to the home menu?

I have a series 6 running watchOS 10.1.1.

Nobody’s mentions the long hold to light up the phone in the dark. I barely use this now that I can’t do it with my nose.

If you long-hold the "ping iPhone" button on Control Center, the iPhone's camera flash lights up a few times on top of making the sound.
