Double tap option not available on my Apple Watch Ultra. Latest software on both Apple Watch and iPhone. There is no such option under Gestures.
Apple Watch Ultra, watchOS 10
I have just received a series 9 and I am having the same problem. The “Gestures” option is not available under the settings menu on the watch. It is available on the watch app on my phone, but the only option is “cover to mute”. The double tap feature does not work on the watch.
That makes sense.
Apple, and the volunteers here in the Apple Support Communities, work on the expectation that folks have updated their devices to the most recent operating systems!
This is the fix. Well done!
First, go to Settings > Accessibility > Assistive Touch, and then you can set up your Assistive Touch settings including Double Tap.
In Apple Support’s article on setting up Double Tap, it gives instructions for setting it up on the watch, but also says this, “You can also open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, tap My Watch, go to Settings > Gestures, then tap Double Tap.”
So it odd that it has been omitted on the phone app.
I’m assuming it’s an update glitch. I had to add it through accessibility as well.
aasauls - how did you add it?
Apple's instructions regarding double tap on Series 9 and Ultra 2 only mention setting it up on the watch.
I don’t have it on my phone nor my watch
My double tap option just disappeared in the last 2 days. I just updated to 10.3 and powered off/on. Nothing but “cover to mute” under gestures.
Perfect. Thank you.
I don’t have Double Tap option In Gestures at all, only Cover to mute. Apple Watch Ultra updated to 10.1 iPhone updated to the latest OS also.
