Doesn't "double tap" mean to shoot twice in rapid succession?
Got a tip for us?

And MB specifically said in the video Apple sent him an Ultra with 10.1 beta on it so he could use that function 🙃Marques Brownlee is the most well-known Tech YouTuber for over a decade and you are just casually referring to him as "some influencer." Alrighty then
I've been sleeping with it since I got it in January and it's been fine.
Well aside from the fact Ive smacked my phone with it a few times and put some scratches on the screen and now screen protector 🥲
Is there a new watch-to-phone tap feature I’m not aware of? 🤣
I fall asleep in mine often. I wouldn’t consider the weight to be any heavier than my previous stainless steel S6.
I completely agree. Also, Siri+Health is coming later this year just like the flagship feature Double Tap.
I hope you can turn it totally off. It's just another thing to cause spurious activity on my watch.
It's hard to do a double tap if you have no thumb, but the watch will find a way to activate something when I don't want it to anyway, I have confidence.

I've been wearing it for almost a year, sleep with it every night & have no issue with it!
I might be in the minority, but I think WatchOS10 is a step backwards. I would much rather have my side button go to a dock of my favorite apps instead of control center. (Double pressing the crown is an app switcher not your favorites) I never use control center so it basically removed a whole button fuction. I have an Apple Watch
Also, the majority of my watch apps don’t have widget support so I can’t use that as my most used apps either. I just think the OS is worse in every way and don’t care about the double tap stuff.

Guys! Let's put 2 and 2 together! This feature is primarily for the Apple Vision Pro Headset which does not really launch until 2024! It will be able to detect a double tap when your hands are outside of its camera's range!
It's really for the Apple Vision Pro Headset! Apple thinks in 4 Dimensions like that! That is what makes them so successful!
More likely, because this feature was present before in Accessibility Settings AFAIK, but it has been perfected for Apple Vision and brought back to the Watch.
Did they just think it was a cool thing to bring it on the Watch, or will they use it outside of the camera range as you said ? Maybe both ! Because let's admit it, there's nothing new really, with Series 9, so they kinda needed something...
I can’t believe the comments on here saying this feature already exists. No it doesn’t. There’s that similar one but that’s called double pinch. One is pinch and one is tap … and … yeah … these are not the droids you’re looking for.
Not the same thing - this supposedly uses less power and is more precise. But it's similar, yeah, and you can enable it on previous Watches too.

That’s exactly what he is
i can't believe that a feature which already exists won't be available for older watches... not even for ultra.. pathetic.
It's really not, at all. I noticed it was larger than my earlier Apple Watch for about 5 minutes, then never again.
the way they were promoting it through keynote u would at least expect it to be release on launch day
And S7, and S6. Not sure about S5, but its not a new feature and I'm unsure why they keep touting it as one.
You get used to it and then suddenly you forget you're wearing it. I love mine.
It's pathetic on the AW Ultra. I don't know how Apple could provide such rubbish under an "accessibility" heading.
