Hi Laurikeet,


We're trying to understand what action you're being prompted to do a double pinch for, so we can help.


Looking at the Apple Watch User Guide, we see there is an Accessibility double pinch action, which we're not sure this is what you're referring to:

Use AssistiveTouch on Apple Watch - Apple Support

Use AssistiveTouch with Apple Watch
With AssistiveTouch and Hand Gestures turned on, navigate your Apple Watch using the following default gestures:
Pinch: Forward
Double-pinch: Back
Clench: Tap
Double-clench: Show the Action Menu

If this is it, then you can turn that off at the same place it is turned on:

1. Open the Settings app  on your Apple Watch.
2. Go to Accessibility > AssistiveTouch, then turn on AssistiveTouch.
3. Tap Hand Gestures, then turn on (Off) Hand Gestures.

If we didn't get that right, please provide some additional info, so the community can help.


Take care!
