Apple Launches WatchOS 10.1 With Able To Tap Twice

JAKARTA - Apple released a watchOS 10.1 update for the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2, which is available from October 26, with the ability to tap twice as new.

With new capabilities, users can easily control their smartwatches by simply tapping their index finger and watch thumb twice simultaneously to perform many of the most common actions quickly.

"This new feature complements existing movements such as taps, swabs, liftings, and caps to turn off sounds that make Apple Watch simple and intuitive for use," Apple wrote in its announcement.

The gesture's ability to tap twice imi allows users to take major action in various applications and watchOS notifications, including:

This two-time tap movement works whenever the screen is active, and this feature is available throughout the day with a minimum impact of 18-hour battery usage on the Apple Watch Series 9 or 36 hours on the Apple Watch Ultra 2.

watchOS 10.1 is available to Apple Watch Series 4 and a newer version starting today, and requires an iPhone X S or a newer version running iOS 17.
