I noticed that after updating to Watch OS 7, the percent function is no longer present in the app...

With the removal of force touch to select between Tip and %, it looks like Apple has exclusively left the tip function on the calculator app but not the percent. Very frustrated with this...

You can still use the percent function in the calculator, there’s a setting for it in the settings app on the watch.

Oh thanks! I didn’t know that. It seems like it’s more of a challenge to dive into the settings app than simply force touch. Not sure why Apple would make this move.
Agreed. If they MUST remove it on the new watches, I don’t understand why they have to remove it in the software for the older generations too, oh well.

Hadn't noticed the change, thanks for bringing it up. I liked force-touch, sorry to see it go.

Don't know that I've ever used the % function - does it do anything more than moving the decimal point over by two digits (divide by 100)?
