watchOS 26 adds a new ‘wrist flick’ gesture to quickly dismiss notifications.
At WWDC 2025, Apple just showed off a new update coming to its wearables this fall.
Once watchOS 26 is available, Apple Watch Series 9, Apple Watch Series 10, and Apple Watch Ultra 2 wearers will be able to dismiss notifications, silence times and alarms, and ignore calls just by turning their wrist over and back like this (below), in addition to the existing double tap gesture.
