With watchOS 10, Apple introduced numerous changes to the interface of the Apple Watch operating system. One of these changes was the removal of the ability to quickly swipe between different watch faces. This change caused frustration among some users. But now there is good news: the popular swipe gesture is available again in watchOS 10.2 Beta 3.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like Aaron on X (formerly Twitter) reported<\/a>, watchOS 10.2 beta 3, released to developers and public beta testers earlier this week, brings back the ability to easily swipe between watch faces on the Apple Watch screen. In previous versions, you had to select the watch face and then scroll through the list with the Digital Crown to switch. Many users were annoyed by this change and some had even filed bug reports saying that this was an unintended limitation. It seems Apple has listened to feedback and added the popular gesture back into watchOS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activating the gesture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are some important details to note, however. At least in this beta version, the gesture is not enabled by default. Instead, it must be manually enabled in the watch's settings. Note that this feature is only available on Apple Watch and cannot be found in the Watch app on your iPhone. At least you can now switch between your watch faces in the familiar way again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More about watchOS 10.2 and iOS 17.2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The current version, watchOS 10.1, was released last month and already brought some handy features like NameDrop and the ability to double-tap on the latest Apple Watch models. But with watchOS 10.2 and iOS 17.2, even more exciting improvements are coming. iOS 17.2 will introduce Apple's new Journal app, which was first announced at WWDC. Users can also look forward to support for collaborative playlists in Apple Music, changes to Tapback reactions, and new widgets for the clock and weather. The update also enables spatial video recording for Apple Vision Pro with the iPhone 15 Pro. Apple is expected to release iOS 17.2, watchOS 10.2, and Co. by the end of the year. Stay tuned for these exciting new features that will take your Apple experience to a new level. (Photo by Unsplash \/ Daniel Romero)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
