I mentioned today in my Siri AI Apple Watch piece that there’s one change I still hope Apple makes to watchOS 27 before it ships this month. It’s one of those common muscle-memory features that have existed for years, and I’ve been missing it all summer.
Double-clicking Digital Crown no longer quickly switches between apps in watchOS 27
As I wrote this morning:
Now my one watchOS 27 complaint is that double-clicking the Digital Crown no longer jumps between recent apps… maybe watchOS 27.1 will do something with the double-click gesture. For a device so button-constrained that only the Ultra gets an Action button, it’s odd to see a double-click gesture replaced with … nothing.
I also flagged the issue in July when Apple released the first watchOS 27 public beta version, and I shared the feedback with Apple in June as well.
