CTOnews.com, October 26 (Xinhua)-- Apple today released watchOS 10.1 for the Apple Watch and added a "double click gesture" feature for Apple Watch Series 9 / Ultra 2. Apple has issued a press release on its website detailing the new feature of the watch.

Apple CTOnews.com, the source of ▲ images, found that Apple claims that "users can easily control Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 with one hand without touching the display screen through a brand new two-finger gesture."

Users only need to touch the index finger and thumb of the hand wearing the watch twice in a row to quickly carry out a number of common operations. This new feature combines existing gestures such as tapping, swiping, lifting the wrist to wake up, and covering the watch to mute, giving Apple Watch a simple and intuitive experience.

Apple also claims that two gestures with two fingers are particularly useful in common situations where users can't free up the other hand, such as walking the dog, cooking, serving coffee, and so on. Users can select a large number of watchOS App and notification actions by clicking on each other with two fingers, including:

Open the smart stack from any dial and scroll through the stacked widgets.

Answer and hang up the phone.

View the information through the notification, click on each other twice again to scroll down the long notification, use a dictation reply, and send the message.

Pause, resume, stop timer.

Stop and continue the stopwatch.

Let the alarm clock remind you later.

Play and pause music, podcasts and audio books.

Switch to the new elevation view in the compass App.

Use iPhone to take photos through the camera remote control in the camera App

Start or stop automatic physical training reminders.

Perform the main actions in the notification, such as replying to messages received in App or letting reminders be reminded later, including third-party notifications.

▲ source Apple said that by clicking two gestures with each other, users can perform a large number of watchOS App and notification operations, including turning on smart stack and scrolling through widgets, answering and ending phone calls, playing and pausing music, and so on.

Apple also said that the "two-click gesture with two fingers" function is mainly driven by the S9 SiP:

The double-finger gestures of Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 are driven by the S9 SiP chip, which is 25% more energy efficient than the previous generation, and the machine learning speed of the new 4-core neural network engine is 2 times faster.

The neural network engine processes data from accelerometers, gyroscopes and optical heart rate sensors through new machine learning algorithms. The algorithm can monitor the iconic characteristics of the slight movement of the wrist and the blood flow changes caused by the two-point operation of the palm and fingers.

Users can tap their fingers twice at any time when the display is lit, which is available throughout the day and has little impact on the 18-hour battery life of Apple Watch Series 9 or 36 hours of battery life of Apple Watch Ultra 2.

In terms of customization, users can customize the two fingers to click on each other's gestures:

Users can automatically select the main actions in most App and notifications by clicking on each other with two fingers. In two cases, users can choose different functions:

Scroll the widget in the smart stack or select the first operable widget

Play / pause while enjoying the media content, or skip to the next song.

Double-clicking on each other automatically selects the main actions in most App and notifications. In both cases, users can choose different functions through the setting of iPhone.

CTOnews.com found that Apple said that the following App and experience do not support double-clicking:

Mobile electrocardiogram atrial fibrillation prompt software

heart rate

Blood oxygen

Sleep focus mode

Walkie-talkie

Map (during navigation)

Mindfulness (during the period)

SOS function (SOS emergency contact, fall detection, car accident detection)

Physical training (during the period)
