Hello.
I have Watch OS 10 installed on my Apple Watch Series 8.
Ever since I've installed watch OS 10, I can't swipe to the different watch faces on the watch face screen using two finger swipe left and right.
I often have to edit the faces to get it to change.
I have five faces in total with different complications on each face.
Any ideas?

Apple came up with it…
Apple came up with it strangely.
I completely don't understand it.
Gesture to move between screens in applications also does not work.
Because of this, every time I have to slide down, look for a slider and swipe my finger.
Touching the bottom edge of the screen makes VO silent. That's why scrolling is necessary every time.
The comfort of using the watch in WOS 10 has dropped dramatically. 😞
Yep, this is by design.
As Adrian said, you now have to long press or swipe to the action to change face. It’s the only way to do it now. I honestly don’t know why they did it other than perhaps it was a memory management thing but even so the gesture to swipe over could have pulled the face from storage instead of RAM. Hopefully they had a good reason for removing that function because it was quite useful and changing faces is no longer something I do regularly.
faces.
Simple. Use one finger up or down until you get edit faces, tap and slide to the many faces. I always use 1 finger and no issues. Using OS 10.1 and series 7.
