Apple Releases watchOS 10.1 With Double Tap, NameDrop and More

[Eldaerenth Faexidor]

I wished you could choose a shortcut with the double tap. That would be really helpful.

That weather bug was particulaly annoyng. Hope they'd fixed it.

Build number?

21S67 (Same as RC)

 

[Adreitz]

Does it re-enable swiping between watch faces? (Doubtful.)

 

[macman01101]

So, after we use double tap to scroll, there’s no way to select the focused item????

Someone explain to me why Namedrop only works with S7 and not S6 watches even while we know the S7 is a S6 in disguise.

 

[jonnysods]

Oh perfect, hoping my battery will make a comeback now! AW6 is hurting on watchOS 10!

 

[Rychiar]

Why do they say it works with thumb and index finger? It works with thumb and any finger…. And is no less accurate on the others either…

Apple Watch Ultra 2 - 10.1 - RC Build 21S67 - Nothing new showing..both beta off or beta on.

 

[Howard2k]

Hopefully they've pushed beyond 6 hours of battery life.

Apple Watch Ultra 2 - 10.1 - RC Build 21S67 - Nothing new showing..both beta off or beta on.

I think this means the final beta build is the same build as the now public 10.1 release?

Looking forward to trying it

Holy crap… just used Double Tap to close a notification, and this feels like THE FUTURE!

 

[Apple_Robert]

I like the new Double Tap feature. Works great.

 

[the future]

Ok sure... possibly is, lets take that as true. But what about the namedrop?

I guess it would have something to do with the U chip? I won‘t ever use this so I didn‘t really look into it, though.

Easy: 💰💲🤑

You‘re right, cynicism is very easy.

How can one turn off NameDrop on AW?

 

[movieator]

Just updated on my S7. HR complication not working on watch faces.

I can tap where the complication would be and it will open up the app, but it’s blank on the watch face.

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Don’t care about anything other than fixing the battery drain.

Looks like the flicker has been fixed for AWU2 faces when a timer is running. So many people freaked out on another post and panic-returned their watches.

How to enable or disable namedrop on apple watch?

 

[InsideApple]

I had the public beta for both iOS and watchOS installed. Today I got an iOS 17.1 update, but not watchOS 10.1. Why?

How to enable or disable namedrop on apple watch?

There doesn't appear to be a toggle for the watch. You turn it off / on in the phone app (Settings > General > Airdrop > Bring device together toggle off. That controls both.

 

[Thoradin]

Does it bring back the swipe up control centre and get rid of the useless widget menu that nobody needed or asked for?
