The Crown Reclaimed: App Switcher Gesture Returns in watchOS 27.2
Users testing watchOS 27.2 beta 2 will find a familiar friend returning to their wrist: the ability to open the App Switcher via a double-click of the Digital Crown. This specific shortcut was previously modified in the initial watchOS 27 release, causing friction for those accustomed to the classic multitasking gesture. The update highlights a commitment to refining the user experience by bringing back intuitive navigation controls that streamline app switching on the small screen.
