Double Tap Has Arrived On The Apple Watch

After being announced at the iPhone 15 event last month, Apple has now released the double tap feature for the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2.

The new double tap gesture allows you to use your index finger and thumb on the hand wearing the watch to perform several actions that help you get around your watch without using your other hand.

The actions that can be performed by the double tap feature include:

Opening the Smart Stack from any watch face and scrolling through widgets in the stack.
Answering and ending phone calls.
Viewing a message from a notification, scrolling through longer notifications with an additional double tap, replying using dictation, and sending a message.
Pausing, resuming, and ending a timer.
Stopping and resuming a stopwatch.
Snoozing an alarm.
Playing and pausing music, podcasts, and audiobooks.
Switching to the new Elevation view in the Compass app.
Taking an iPhone photo with the Camera Remote in the Camera app.
Starting or stopping automatic Workout reminders.
Performing the primary action from notifications, such as replying to an incoming message from a messaging app and snoozing reminders — including from third parties.

To get access to the new double tap feature on your Apple Watch Series 9/Apple Watch Ultra 2, you just need to update to Watch OS 10.1.
