With iOS 17.1 and watchOS 10.1 being released today, for those that own an Apple Watch Series 9, you can now use the new Double Tap feature.

To check out the options, go to the Apple Watch app and select Gestures/Double Tap.

Release Notes: Double tap gesture can be used to perform the primary action in notifications and most apps so you can answer a call, play and pause music, stop a timer, and more (Available on Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2)

Yep, that’s exactly it. I’ve used DoubleTap a bit and it picks up my taps very reliably, but it’s of course much more limited in what it can control. Tbh my main use case is for stopping timers while I have my hands busy cooking, and it works brilliantly for that.

I’m also curious whether AssistiveTouch uses the onboard ML now. It would make a lot of sense since Siri does, but I haven’t seen anything saying one way or the other and haven’t compared the performance between models.
