Welcome to the newest touch-screen gesture (that involves zero touching).
At this point touch screens, tapping and swiping have become as natural as anything else in a world full of smartphones, tablets and other all-screen devices. Now comes a new way of interacting on the most recent Apple Watch models.that much more intriguing for people with older Watches looking to upgrade and first-time smartwatch buyers. The feature is currently available to those running Apple’s developer and public betas of WatchOS 10, with a wide release to come later in October.
What can you use double tap to do? The answer is a limited number of things right now, but they’re all useful. If a call comes in, double tap to answer it. Pull up voice dictation to respond to a text. Snooze an alarm going off. Play or pause your music. And for third-party apps, double tap will do the primary action if you get a notification. For example, if you get an alert from WhatsApp, you can trigger a response.
It may sound like a novelty, but in my initial testing I’ve found double tap to be surprisingly useful . The gesture is correctly identified every time I try it, and I haven’t had any false-positives yet in the dozens of times I’ve tried it in the past few days. Double tap only works on the Series 9 and Ultra 2. Apple says this is because the feature uses a combination of the new, faster processor found in these devices. And it’s different from theI can see double tap evolving to become as natural a gesture as poking at the Apple Watch’s screen or spinning its digital crown. It’s up there with the best of Apple’s “it just works” features because of how instantly intuitive and natural it is.
