No, thisisn’tthe double tap as you know it. The new double-tap interaction (available from next month) allows you to interact with your Apple Watch without actually touching the wearable, for example, when you’re out walking the dog or holding a coffee in one hand. To activate the double tap, you have to tap your thing and index finger together on the same arm you have the watch on.
Apple claims the algorithm detects the unique signature of tiny wrist movements and changes in blood flow when the index finger and thumb perform a double tap. The double-tap gesture will be available in a software update next month.
Just think about it. The Apple Watch Series 9 is capable of picking up such fine movements as you essentially rub your two fingers together. Who knows what other double-tap features will we see in the future? Read more about thenew Apple Watch Series 9 here. Follow ourApple Event 2023 live bloghere.
