To start the conversation again, simply ask
a new question. Question: I have an Apple Watch series 3 42mm running watchOS 6.1.1. I experience a problem where the watch face goes 'deaf' every few days; swiping down from the top to view notifications does nothing. Similarly, swiping up from the bottom does not bring up the control center. I've only been able to resolve this by restarting the watch. Any thoughts on what is causing this? Bug in watchOS? [Re-Titled by Moderator] Apple Watch Series 3, watchOS 6 Posted on Dec 19, 2019 9:00 AM User profile for user: SGraff Question: Apple Watch swipe up not working Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a
new question. Question: From time to time I can't swipe up or down to reveal the Notifications or the Control Center on my Series 5 Apple Watch. My wife doesn't seem to have the same issue on her Series 6 but I see where other users have reported having the problem on 6 so don't think issue is related to hardware but more likely watchOS. While the workaround is to restart the watch, the frequency of it becoming unresponsive to these swipe gestures, I'm currently having to restart over two days when the problem happens. No, I haven't wiped the watch completely clean and started over again, can't say I've ever had an issue resolved with that step but looking to see if others have this, other workarounds and will look to report this as a bug that hopefully can be addressed in an update to WatchOS.

If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart.

How to clean your Apple Watch - Apple Support Posted on Sep 23, 2021 8:05 PM User profile for user: commanderclif_me Question: Can't Swipe Up or Down on Apple Watch Many customers are experiencing a strange Apple Watch Swipe up issue. Many are also unable to swipe down thereby preventing them from using the control center or alerts and locating their phone. A lot of people have taken to social media to complain about the Apple watch swipe up not working. The Apple Watch allows users to access various functionalities by using various swiping movements. One of these is the swipe-up gesture, which allows users to reach the Apple Watch Control Centre. Additionally, the Swipe down motion, which has been reported to be compromised, lets users view alerts. Many customers have reported that this problem began after installing the watchOS 8.5.1 upgrade. However, several customers have reported that they were experiencing it previous to the stated upgrade. They are complaining of the inability to swipe up or down and access the control center. This happens while the watch is unlocked and on the wrist. Though many have tried the recommended workarounds like restarting the watch by simultaneously pressing the side button, the control center cannot be reached. How can an Apple watch user get the swipe back to their lives?  If you are experiencing the same problem, here are various remedies you may do to restore the Apple Watch Swipe Up/Down motions. Is there any fix to the Apple watch swipe up not working?Aside from the problem being noticed by many Apple Watch customers on various local sites, several of them have also given remedies. Here are the compiled solutions to remedy the issue. Solution 1: Normal Restart the Apple WatchUsers have reported that a simple reset of the watch resolved the issue for them. You can do the same thing for yourself, and here’s how.
After restarting your Apple Watch, check to see if the swipe up and down movements are now functional. Since Apple has not officially acknowledged it, neither rolled out a fix and if you find it cumbersome to reboot again, follow a simple workaround to reboot. You probably don’t have to do a full restart. Just remove the watch from your wrist and then put it back on and re-enter the password. It accomplishes the same thing (at least it always does for me) in a lot less time. Might be worth a try next time. Solution 2: Force Restart the Apple Watch to RebootIf the standard restart does not work, you might try forcing it to restart. Many people attempted and resolved the issue by force restarting instead of resuming normally. To restart the Apple Watch, follow these steps:
Check to see whether the problem has been resolved after restarting the watch. Solution 3: Pair Watch AgainFinally, if nothing else works, unpair the watch from your linked smartphone and pair it again. Also, do not recover the backup throughout the re-pairing process. Set up the watch as a separate device instead. Because all of your past health and fitness data is saved on the associated iOS device rather than the watch, this method will not remove any of your prior health and fitness data or achievement badges. Here are simple steps to pair the Apple watch. Keep your iPhone ready
Solution 4: Try changing the Watch FacesThis may seem little, but a user stated that he was able to resolve the issue by making a few changes to the watch faces. You may also give it a go. Simply slide left or right on your current watch face to swap between Apple Watch faces. Swipe through the watch faces you have now and stop swiping when you find the one you want. Solution 5: Clean and dry Apple WatchMaintain a clean and dry environment for your Apple Watch. Soaps, cleaning chemicals, abrasive materials, pressurized air, ultrasonic cleaning, and outside heat sources can all cause harm to your Apple Watch and should not be used. Check for dirt and clean off your Apple Watch if the Digital Crown becomes stuck or won’t budge. Follow these methods to clean the Digital Crown if you detect items like dirt or lotion surrounding it, and continue as required. Before cleansing your Apple Watch, detach the band. This cleaning guide is only for Apple-branded bands. For all the other bands, adhere to the care instructions included with the band. Solution 6: Remove any screen protector on Apple Watch
While answering a query raised by a customer, Apple support suggested pulling out any installed screen protector and then retesting swipe up action on the Apple Watch to get to the Control Center. Logically speaking, the screen protector should not interfere with the functions of the Control Center since the Apple Watch starts working after restart. Solution 6: Factory reset of Apple WatchIn case none of the above workarounds resolved the issue, one can do a complete factory reset of their Apple Watch. What to do when you cannot access the Control Centre to fix “Apple watch swipe up not working”?There have been several Apple Watch user reports about the problem. Not only the ‘swipe up’ motion but also the ‘swipe down’ gesture, is impacted. The issue in question hinders users from accessing alerts, quick toggles via Control Center, changing settings, and other functions. According to many accounts, the problem began for many people with the most recent watchOS 8.5.1 upgrade. Furthermore, some people have reported encountering the bug in previous versions. However, certain alternative solutions are suggested to help reduce the problem. When this happens, the first solution is to force-reboot the watch: You may also try a reset by completing the instructions given above. Lastly, you may attempt unpair and re-pair the Apple Watch to configure it as a fresh device: However, do keep in mind that resetting (holding the crown & side button simultaneously) does fix the issue but only temporarily. One has to wait for Apple to roll out a permanent fix. Users were hoping that the latest WatchOS 8.6 update rolled out on the 15th May will fix the Watch swipe up issue. However, users feedback after the update doesn’t confirm it.
Apple Watch swipe up not working- Is it the same solution for Apple Watch 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and SE?If anything isn’t working properly, the first and easiest thing to attempt is to reset your Apple Watch and its linked iPhone.

This should lead to no data loss. It cleans up any temporary or damaged files and re-indexes the storage device.
