Apple repurposes Digital Crown double-click in watchOS 27, removing app-switch shortcut
watchOS 27 assigns the Digital Crown double-click to a new Live Rewind feature available only on Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4. Owners of older models updating to watchOS 27 will lose the previous app-switching double-click behavior.
- watchOS 27 shipped on September 14; Series 12 and Ultra 4 arrive September 18.
- Live Rewind transcribes the last 15 seconds of spoken audio and uses the Digital Crown double-click on compatible watches.
