Well well well

[–] utilitycoder@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Thank g-d

[–] aaron416@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Woohoo! I barely switched faces since upgrading because they added more friction for no reason. I wonder if they saw enough people staying on 9 because of this (and people don’t like change).

[–] Portatort@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

So it’s an optional toggle.

Nice. I really wish Apple would give us more of those.

[–] ermax18@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] seagull_shit@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] perfectviking@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] ExtraGloves@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] SterlingsRed@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

i just wish they had more faces, better options at least. a lot of the faces i like can’t use compilations

[–] thegreatdivorce@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Cool, but can we get the option to manually (easily) set Night Mode on the Ultra again?

[–] bukitbukit@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

What a circus..

[–] Atosl@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yes!

[–] placo81@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

finally!

Amazing. It was my favorite convenience feature in Apple Watch. Since they removed that feature basically the only way I changed watch faces was through dedicated faces for different focuses

[–] welshboy14@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Never mind this, what I’m looking for is a brightness control for the AOD

[–] AlthoughFishtail@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hallelujah. Now give us back double clicking the crown to go back to the previous app and Ill be happy.

[–] InsanePacman@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

fucking. this.

[–] The_real_bandito@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

So we’re coming back to the time where I used to swipe my watch faces by accident. Great.

[–] xDeserterr@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Its about time.

[–] wtrmlnjuc@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I might finally upgrade my watch now.

[–] Un1uckyboyy@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I want this swipe option to skip songs!

[–] matt_is_a_good_boy@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Now revert the double clicking crown to bring back last app.

Or better yet just revert watchOS 10 to watchOS 9.

[–] iFred97@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I used that feature all the time and now it opens that stupid dock thingy.

[–] peeja@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Not even the dock. The dock no longer exists and it was a vital part of my navigation. It just brings up recent apps.

[–] pw5a29@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Option

This is the most surprising part

[–] taxis-asocial@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Apple letting people decide how their device works? That is actually surprising

[–] Ilovetoes08@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

“YEeeEeEEeAaAAaaaaH Baby”

[–] Rickmasta@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I started using Focus to change my Apple Watch face it has been pretty awesome so far.

[–] Financial-Aspect-826@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Let me go back from apps to the app voew menu with a swipe, god sake

[–] kompergator@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

First I was afraid they would force us back. Nice to have the option but I never want that forced on again.

[–] ryanmer@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Thank GOD. This is my number one complaint about watchOS 10.

[–] Sheriff_of_noth1ng@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Now bring back turning the crown to switch to night mode on the ultra

[–] LiquidHotCum@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

bullying works!!!

I honestly don't mind the one extra step in changing faces

[–] EstSnowman@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Can we please get back the old fitness and wearher app looks. The new ones are just horrible to use.

[–] NickHoadley@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yes!

[–] AtonalPiano@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I’m never updating my watch to os 10, will stay in 9 as long as I can.

[–] Jenings@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] KitchenBreadfruit816@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can we get swipe up for CC back too?

[–] InsanePacman@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

wait for 10.3 beta 3

/s

*probably*

[–] brewditt@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Maybe focus on the real issues?
Amazing how fast something this...minimal...would/could come back.

[–] Tumblrrito@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

A 5 second gesture becoming a 0.5 second one isn’t minimal.

[–] jdl232@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yay!!!

[–] cmatista@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

can we please fix the audio player. please god bring “on iphone” back

[–] 11rashidar@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Oh it was gone? This explains so much

[–] Tumblrrito@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] peeja@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Sweet. Now let's get the Dock back, please.

[–] Andrei_963@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

They should switch the swipe up for the widget Smart Stack with the lateral button for the control center…

[–] rross0x@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Still can’t control my lights with the watch since OS10.

[–] iBeFlying676@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Fix the fucking Weather complication Apple. That shit has not worked for me since 10.1 upgrade and there are thousands of complaints online

[–] WulfHund00@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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?
