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 Apple Watch has great features such as fall detection, heart rate monitor, ECG, and many others. But it all comes to no use if you cannot swipe up on it. There are multiple reasons why you can’t swipe up on Apple Watch, but first, I would suggest cleaning the screen and edges, removing the screen protector, and swiping up with clean hands. If this doesn’t help, move on to the fixes listed in this article.
1. Restart Apple WatchRestart is that one magic spell we always rely on whenever a gadget freezes or does not respond properly. Since your Apple Watch is not letting you swipe, I suggest you restart your Apple Watch. But if that doesn’t help, or your Apple Watch is not responding, the next best way is to restart it. 2. Try slow swipesSince you can’t swipe on your Apple Watch like usual, I recommend trying to do the same a bit slower. It could be a software bug preventing the watchOS from detecting the normal swipes, and until a fix update is pushed, you can try slow swipes. However, if this doesn’t fix the issue, move on to the following fixes. 3. Unpair and re-pair Apple WatchThe next best fix is to unpair Apple Watch and pair it again. But before that, I highly suggest taking a backup of your Apple Watch so that you can restore it later. 4. Change watch faceSometimes it isn’t a software or hardware issue but a watch face preventing your Apple Watch from registering swipe gestures. So, try changing the watch face of your Apple Watch and see if it helps. Lift your wrist to light up the screen. You may also tap once. Swipe horizontally from the left or right edge to easily switch between different watch faces. 5. Check for cracks on the screenSince Apple Watch rests on our hands, it’s easy to get scratches or minute cracks around the bezels and corners, thus affecting the areas where you swipe. Check if there are scratches or cracks; if you notice anything, it’s time to visit Apple Support. If you have noticed scratches or cracks on your Apple Watch or could not find a solution through all these fixes, chances are it’s a hardware issue. Your last resort is to contact Apple Support and inform them about the problem. I hope that you can fix the issue from there. FAQsQ. Why can’t I swipe down on the red dot on my Apple Watch? The red dot in your Apple Watch indicates unread notifications, but if you cannot swipe them on your Apple Watch, restart the device and see if it helps. If it still doesn’t fix, force restart and check again. Q. Why is my Apple Watch not responding? If your Apple Watch is not responding properly, force restart and see if that fixes the issue. That’s it! Since the swipe gesture is an important way to control your Apple Watch, its productivity loses greatly if it’s not working. That’s why I have tried to bring you the tried-and-tested fixes. Were you able to fix the issues? Let me know in the comments below. Read more Apple Watch fixes and tips:
