Apple Watch 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 users get an update

A new update from Apple has finally arrived, and it's for Apple Watch 9 and Apple Watch Ultra2 users, who can now take advantage of the Double Tap feature that lets you control your watch with a two-finger double tap.

You'll need to install the iOS17.1 and watchOS 10.1 updates for the update to take effect. This feature will only work on the Apple Watch 9 and Apple Watch Ultra2, not the older models. But once you try it out, you'll find that it's a seamless experience.

Effective uses of the double tap feature

You can use the double-tap feature to perform a number of convenient actions, such as checking notifications or reading messages, answering or ending a call, or starting or stopping music playback.

How Double Tap works

To use the double-tap feature, simply perform the desired action with your thumb and index finger while wearing Apple Watch. This double-tap action is accurately detected by utilizing the S9 SiP chip and 4-core neural engine in Apple Watch 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2.

Examples of using the double tap feature

When using messaging apps like KakaoTalk, you can easily send a voice message by double-tapping while viewing a notification. You can also operate a timer or stopwatch, play or pause music and audiobooks, and reply to notifications.

Tips for existing Apple Watch users

This feature only works on the Apple Watch 9 and Apple Watch Ultra2, so it might be worth considering a new model for existing users. The new Apple Watch is an upgrade in terms of accuracy and a host of features.

Bottom line.

Double Tap makes the Apple Watch even more usable, allowing you to easily control a variety of tasks with two fingers. Don't miss out on the update and get more out of your Apple Watch. Another handy update has arrived for Apple users.
