Highlights Introduces pinch interaction for Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2. Accessible to Series 3 and newer models through Accessibility features. Quick Actions and AssistiveTouch allow gesture controls on older models. Navigate and control with pinches and clenches for enhanced watchOS interaction. Apple has introduced a new "double tap" feature in its latest Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2, enabling users to interact with the device by pinching together their thumb and index finger. This advanced feature, while optimized for the new hardware, is accessible in a limited form to owners of Apple Watch Series 3 onwards. The "double tap" functionality relies on the upgraded Neural Engine in the S9 SiP, which processes data from the device's accelerometer, gyroscope, and optical heart rate sensor more efficiently. For those with older models, Apple offers an alternative through its Accessibility settings with AssistiveTouch and quick actions. These settings allow for gesture control such as pinching and clenching to command the watch. How to Activate Double Tap Gestures How to Activate Double Tap Gestures Quick Actions Method: Open the Watch app on your iPhone. Navigate to Accessibility. Select Quick Actions under Motor.
