Every watch face on Apple Watch is supposed to include a swipe up interaction to reveal the Control Center and its menu of buttons, and a swipe down interaction to reveal notifications. The only problem is, due to an undisclosed and intermittent bug, sometimes these interactions simply won't work when you try them. This article runs through some possible solutions. Until Apple
gets the watch face interaction problem fixed, you can try one of these workarounds to regain access to Control Center and your notifications. Method 1: Switch Apple Watch FaceBefore you attempt the other methods discussed here, simply try switching the watch face.  Some users have found that just swiping left or right to change the watch face has brought back the Control Center and notifications interactions for them. Method 2: Reboot Apple WatchNote that you can't restart an Apple Watch if it is charging, so undock it first before attempting the following steps.
Method 3: Hard Reset Apple WatchIf rebooting didn't solve the issue, try a force restart on your Apple Watch. Note that this should only be used as a last resort. And whatever you do, don't perform a force restart if your Apple Watch is in the middle of an OS update.
Method 4: Re-Pair Apple WatchUnpairing Apple Watch from iPhone has worked for some people suffering from the issue. It takes a bit of time, but if you're missing the gestures that reveal Control Center and notifications, it's worth it.
Before erasing all content and settings on your Apple Watch, your iPhone creates a new backup of your Apple Watch. You can use the backup to restore a new Apple Watch. After your Apple Watch unpairs, you'll see the Start Pairing message. Then you can pair your watch to your iPhone again in the normal way.
Final ThoughtsIf none of the above suggestions worked for you, it could be that your Apple Watch screen has a hardware issue and you'll have to take it into an Apple Store for repair or replacement. If you solved the issue, it may only be temporary, and you'll have to wait for Apple to fix whatever's going wrong in a future update. Apple has solved similar issues on Apple Watch in past versions of watchOS, so hopefully we'll see a fix with the release of watchOS 8.7 or watchOS 9, due in the fall of 2022.
