Apple has introduced a new feature in its Apple Watch Series 9, known as the 'double-tap' gesture. This feature was made available in the watchOS 10.1 update. The double-tap gesture allows users to control their Apple Watch without touching the screen or the Digital Crown. It can be used to pause or play music, answer or end calls, and dismiss notifications among other functions.

The double-tap gesture is a part of Apple's broader efforts to make its devices more accessible. It is designed to help users with motor impairments who may find it difficult to interact with the small screen of the Apple Watch. The feature can be enabled in the Accessibility settings of the Apple Watch app on the iPhone.

In addition to the double-tap gesture, the watchOS 10.1 update also introduced a new watch face called 'Metropolitan'. This watch face features a classic analog design with customizable complications. It is available in a variety of colors and can be personalized to suit the user's preferences.
