9to5Mac • • general
Key Points:
- Apple has introduced a new way to access the App Switcher in watchOS 27.2 beta 2, restoring functionality that was removed in watchOS 27.
- Instead of double-clicking the Digital Crown, users can now press and hold the bottom of the screen inside an app to bring up the App Switcher.
- Once activated, users can scroll through recently used apps by turning the Digital Crown or swipe left to remove apps from the switcher.
- This change indicates Apple is responding to user feedback about the removal of the quick app-switching gesture in watchOS 27, though the final implementation may still change before the official release.
