I’ve been really disappointed by the new Double Tap feature since I got the S9 last month. On top of not having many use-cases, the watch didn’t recognize every time I did the gesture which made it really frustrating to use.

I just realized though that I like to wear my bands on the slightly looser side, which I guess makes it way harder for the watch to recognize when you do the gesture. Tightening up my band has helped tremendously and the watch basically never misses it now.

The lack of many use-cases still is a bummer though. How are you guys using it?

    I’d forgotten about this option (thanks for the post), just got my s9 last week. I went into the watch app to set it up, and under Gestures, the only option I have is “Cover to Mute.”

    I checked and phone (14 Pro Max) is up to date (iOS 17.1.1), and watch is up to date (watchOS 10.1.1).

    Any ideas why I can’t Gesture? Is there some other setting I need to adjust first?
