Hey E_Sabina,


We're not able to translate the message you're seeing, but understand that you're using AssistiveTouch on your Apple Watch and having issues closing a notification.


Perhaps the following information may help out with doing so while using AssistiveTouch:


"Navigate your Apple Watch with hand gestures


When you raise your wrist, a blue ring around your Apple Watch screen indicates that AssistiveTouch is turned on. To activate AssistiveTouch, clench your fist twice quickly. You can change the color of this visual signal in Accessibility > AssistiveTouch > Color. Or you can turn the visual signal off by going to Accessibility > AssistiveTouch > Hand Gestures > Activation Gesture.


After you activate AssistiveTouch, a focus ring appears around the first item on your screen. The focus ring indicates that you can tap the item via AssistiveTouch.


With the default actions, you can navigate your Apple Watch with these hand gestures:

  • Move to the next item: Pinch (Tap your pointer finger to your thumb)
  • Move back one item: Double pinch (Tap your pointer finger to your thumb twice quickly)
  • Tap an item: Clench (Close your hand into a fist)
  • Bring up the action menu: Double clench (Close your hand into a fist twice quickly). The action menu lets you perform a number of actions via AssistiveTouch, such as scrolling, pressing the Digital Crown, and more.


How to customize AssistiveTouch hand gestures

  1. Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch or the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap Accessibility > AssistiveTouch > Hand Gestures.
  3. Tap a gesture, then select the action that you want to perform when you make that gesture.


You can also customize the hand gesture that activates AssistiveTouch. Go to Accessibility > AssistiveTouch > Hand Gestures > Activation Gesture."
