The latest update deprived me of my most used feature of my watch, FIND MY PHONE. 

I do not want for 135907 apps to constantly know where I am (for privacy reasons AND battery draining reasons), I just need my watch that's tied to my hand to ring my phone through BLUETOOTH so that I can find where I left it. 

Please bring back that feature, thank you. 

And no, I don't want to install yet ANOTHER app to track me, I just need that feature back.

Samsung Watch 4, updated a few days ago to the latest UI.

I have a watch 7 with the OneUI 8 update.  When I pull down the quick panel and tap the find my phone icon, my phone rings, so I do not know why it does not work for you.  Have you wiped the watch's cache partition after the update?

If you are talking about the quick panel icon for find my phone, it may have been hidden by the update, but it should still exist. The update may have also rearranged the quick panel, so that the icon is no longer in the position you expect it to be.  I remember having to put my panel back in the order I wanted it.  Pull down the watch quick panel and check each screen.  If you still don't see it,  then scroll to the + and tap it to see if the icon is there to add back to the panel.  If that is not what you have been using, then you can start using it now.

I have a Galaxy Watch 4 Classic and I still have the "Find My Phone" icon in the pull-down menu from the home screen, it still works perfectly as it always did. I updated my watch yesterday to the latest version as well.
