Good day everybody. So far I have been LOVING watchOS 8. I only have one problem.

It used to be that when I was in the middle of a call, I could press the three dots in the lower right corner and it would take me to a list of devices I could transfer the audio to--which was usually my AirPods.

When I press those buttons now, it takes me to a screen where I can type in digits (for example, if you call an automated system and need to enter numbers on a keypad).

The official documentation on Apple's website for watchOS 8 says that both the keypad and my list of audio devices should be visible when I press those three dots and I can enter numbers on the keypad or switch audio devices.

But no matter what I do, I can't find that. And obviously during a phone call you can't leave the phone screen to go to other settings areas to change audio devices. So today I was stuck during the call using my Apple Watch in speaker mode, which sucks for privacy.

Am I missing something? Can anyone else see the devices to select from? (btw, the devices "Exist" on my Apple Watch, I can connect to them any other way, its just in the phone app that I don't see the option."

The official documentation is available here: https://support.apple.com/guide/watch/phone-apd32b6c5658/watchos

Just scroll down to "While you're on a a call"
