New Apple Watch Gesture in watchOS 26 Limited to Newer Models


You may have missed it, but select Apple Watch models are gaining a new Wrist Flick gesture in watchOS 26 that allows users to dismiss notifications...

With the gesture, you can dismiss incoming notifications, mute calls, silence alarms and alerts, and return to the watch face without needing to use your other hand. Wrist Flick joins the existing Double Tap gesture as another one-handed control option for Apple Watch users. We may finally have a definitive list of all color options for the iPhone 17 series, ahead of the devices launching in September.
