AssistiveTouch helps you use Apple Watch if you have difficulty touching the screen or pressing the buttons. The built-in sensors on Apple Watch can help you answer calls, control an onscreen pointer, and launch a menu of actions—all through hand gestures.
Using gestures with AssistiveTouch, you can perform these and other actions:
Tap the display
Press and turn the Digital Crown
Swipe between screens
Hold the side button
Access Notification Center, Control Center, and the App Switcher
Show apps
Use Apple Pay
Confirm double-clicks of the side button
Activate Siri
Run a Siri shortcut
Note: On on your Apple Watch.
Go to Accessibility > Quick Actions, then choose an option.
You can choose to have quick actions available at all times, available only when AssistiveTouch is enabled, or off. You can also choose Full appearance (a banner appears and the action button is highlighted) or Minimal appearance (the action button is highlighted with no banner).
Tip: To practice the quick actions gesture, tap “Try it out.”
You can change the actions assigned to tap, clench, and the Motion Pointer gestures, as well as adjust the sensitivity of the Motion Pointer.
Go to the Settings app Use AssistiveTouch on your Apple Watch.
