Apple Watch Ultra 2 Assistive Touch PIN Issue for Apple Pay

Hi Jeff,

I finally figured it out! It's a bit more involved compared to the iPhone, but I successfully configured AssistiveTouch on my iPhone, and it works seamlessly. I just hold the phone near the card terminal, and FaceID authorizes the payment without needing to press any buttons.

To accomplish the same on my Apple Watch Ultra 2 with the latest OS (v11.2):

1. I raise my hand, and as soon as I see the visual effect, I double pinch to activate AssistiveTouch.
2. Then, I use the single pinch gesture I set up to trigger Apple Pay. This brings up the primary payment method on the screen.
3. I do a single pinch again to select the card. At this point, it prompts me for the PIN, so I enter it.
4. Once I enter the PIN, I see the prompt on my watch screen saying "Hold near Card Reader."
5. Now I hold the watch near the card reader and the payment goes through.

I hope Apple makes this a one-step process like on the iPhone in future updates.

Many thanks.

Hi Jeff,

Thank you for your swift response. Is this the case if I switch AssitiveTouch off and activate Double tap?

How this is going to work in the below scenario: I switch on AssistiveTouch and switch off the confirm with AssistiveTouch?

Many Thanks.

Valid question :) I was just testing out the AssistiveTouch feature.

I didn't know that I can double click the the crown to trigger ApplePay. I thought it's the side button that we have to double click?

So How does the process work when we use double clicking the crown feature? Do we have to still enter PIN? What are the steps please?

Many Thanks.
