How to use AssistiveTouch on Apple Watch | Apple Support

[@whoisarod]

interesting how Apple is re-branding this feature as "double tap" during their Apple Event

[@TheBothWorlds]

Right I was wondering cause this feature has always been around. They are running out of ideas

[@UQMD]

That's what I was thinking - this "double tap" feature already existed??

[@jayyt2969]

😂 They didn’t even bother to delete their old video to hide the face that this already existed on their older watches.

[@d3xbot]

and how "Double Tap" has fewer features available than Assistive Touch does

[@JustDoinFlorida]

I think it’s just that the new sensor and chip will make this feature better and therefore more reliable so they finally decided to brand it as new feature. Still cool either way

[@Dreamer-wb9yo]

Absolutely wonderful! A great step with assistive technology as well as for those who can't always touch the watch directly. Thank you people behind Apple for thinking of this and making it happen.

[@Jeri_gaming]

These are helpful to overcome disabilities , really loved it, love you apple❤

[@mohitdwivedi4588]

how will they wear this?

[@logang6381]

Hand gestures is neat asf

[@eddaardwolf]

I will use this when I'm on my commuter bike. One hand on the handle bar, the other with doing haptics. 🙌🙌

[@mooneycomp]

Something you could use if your touchscreen sensor is broken! Good job Apple!

[@ondrejlopatka]

That's wild. I don't get how it can be this resposibile and reliable. Really nice

[@sensingturtle]

What a wonderful accessibility feature!

[@harshateja2511]

Tell us how to use the motion pointer inside the assistive touch menu

[@applesupport]

We would like to see how we can help you with AssistiveTouch on your Apple Watch. To activate AssistiveTouch, clench your fist twice quickly. You can change the color of this visual signal in Accessibility > AssistiveTouch > Color. Or you can turn the visual signal on or off by going to Accessibility > AssistiveTouch > Hand Gestures > Activation Gesture. Should you need further assistance, reach out to its at: apple.co/GetSupport

[@Leweise]

I’m wondering if they removed this feature from current Apple Watches or is it still there?

[@TylerTheDevourer]

Still there. ofc it would make a ton of backlash if removed.

[@RonaldBrown59]

These features are amazing. Great job Apple.

[@ralsei.1]

Hey apple … is the wayfinder watch face is exclusive to the apple watch ultra ? cause i don’t see it in the watch app (i have apple watch SE)

[@applesupport]

That’s a great question, and we’re happy to provide some information. The Wayfinder watch face is only available for the Apple Watch Ultra as shown here: s.apple.com/DH2b1n5vv4 For additional questions or concerns, reach out to us using this link: apple.co/GetSupport Take care!

[@ralsei.1]

@@applesupport oh ok thanks for replying, have a great day 👍

[@JC_Official45]

Nice function!

[@BhaskarPothana]

Very good gestures

[@tshrjain]

Amazing!!

[@Alikk784]

this is amazing 😮

[@Onetwothreefour.]

Can you provide technical support on why this works maybe half the time when I’m on a run? Is the answer, “stop running, try again”

[@applesupport]

Thanks for your question! See apple.co/3u9zVGD for more information on AssistiveTouch. If you have further questions, please reach out to us using apple.co/GetSupport.

[@DrMario_666]

Now you’re pretending that this is a new feature exclusive to the new watch??? Classic Apple 😂

[@MrDiego40]

[@janzvelebil4558]

Thank you for this video. You saved me $ for apple watch ultra 2. (I didn't know this)

[@PrfImprfctn]

This works like magic. How does the watch know when you're pinching or clenching your fist? It doesn't even have a camera

[@asijulian2_ALT]

It doesnt need a camera or anything. Its kinda complicated but theres people who created whole arms that work useing only water and it can do every hand gesture works

[@gerardrosales]

It doesn't need a camera. The supported devices have a very reliable series of sensors which even enable the watch to have a feature called "Fall Detection" wherein it can detect if you suffered from one and automatically contact emergency services and inform your emergency contacts if you've been unresponsive.

[@ashmuryode2389]

why my apple watch se 2nd gen didn’t work with double tap

[@joanns5250]

I have the Watch 9. I get the blue light, my settings are the same, but when I double clench, the screen gets enlarged.

[@applesupport]

Reach out using the following link to get further assistance with AssistiveTouch on your new Apple Watch Series 9: apple.co/GetSupport

[@Peter-em7wl]

Doesn’t work well on ultra 2

[@CDSXCalibur]

Facts 😢😢😢

[@_helmi]

This is just mind blowing 🤯

[@GregStew]

Yet another reason to just love 🥰 Apple!! OMG!! 🤯They realized that accessibility features can also be useful for everyone, so they brought at least one compelling function to the masses. Double tap. I have an Apple Watch Series 7 and just enabled Assistive touch and it works!! Not as straightforward as how double tap is, but whose complaining. Until I upgrade I’ll be pinching, tapping and double clenching away. Thanks Apple!! 🥰✨

[@MerlinXLR8]

This is actually cool.

[@bryansaanchez]

Let’s give her a round of applause

[@gr8ride411]

I’ve tried the Assistive Touch but when activated I kept getting a periodic blue border on my Apple Watch face. Is there a way to disable it. I’m concerned about effecting the battery life. Should I be? Thank you!

[@applesupport]

Hey there. Find more info on using AssistiveTouch with Apple Watch here: apple.co/43vI3i8 If you still have questions after looking that over, connect with us further here: apple.co/GetSupport

[@Sa-fd7ih]

We can easily double pinch to resume workout but we can’t easily double pinch to pause workout. I don’t understand this UX decision.

[@CDSXCalibur]

Thanks 🙏🏾 😅 I’m trying to use Apple Pay and my watch isn’t doing it

[@sofea4587]

Love this video

[@ChristianRap198]

off-topic question LOGIC STUDIO 9 for free now?

[@biglan25]

Wow, Just Wow

[@ahenzeaccessories]

Wow. That’s new and so so so so cool. Life made easy . #assistivetouch #applewatch

[@JonahJamerson4875]

How to get screen replacement for free ? My iPhone 13 pro got green screen issue

[@applesupport]

Hey there! If you haven’t already, try a restart of your iPhone 13. This can sometimes clear up issues like the one you’re experiencing: s.apple.com/dE0n2o5G1L If the issue continues, please reach out to us directly: apple.co/GetSupport

[@alexandrumacovei7174]

So much technology for that but when it s windy outside it tells you the noise it s too loud and you re hurting your hearing. So strange they couldn’t think of something on how to differentiate the noise from the wind

[@MattRobloxYT1]

Oh wow, how can you do this with a iphone 12?

[@applesupport]

You can set up AssistiveTouch on an iPhone by navigating to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch. You can find more info here: s.apple.com/dE4q4r1g9w If you need assistance configuring AssistiveTouch on your iPhone, you can contact Apple Support here: apple.co/GetSupport

[@SniperSmithlp]

my brain is just blown... like.. HOW even is this possible? This could be useful as in, being able to start a workout, emergency calling or do anything else really...

[@Perfect_Creation]

Nice But Expensive 💸💰

[@AaravTachTalks]

I am a big fan of you and I met the CEO of Apple

[@djsuthard2243]

This feature is good for the Apple Watch Ultra 1 so people don’t have to buy the second gen highly recommended

[@johnconstable8512]

i love apple

[@Umarbit]

Why apple is leaking wwdc 23?

[@87Rdot]

I can’t get this to work on my 8 series. It only registers a double pinch that it.

[@anesbudiman]

I luv #apple

[@MaBeigloo]
