You can dismiss Apple Watch notifications with a flick of your wrist now
Briefly

Apple has introduced a new feature called 'Wrist Flick' for the Apple Watch with WatchOS 26, allowing users to dismiss notifications, timers, and calls by simply flicking their wrist. This gesture enhances the convenience of using the device, particularly when hands are full. The Wrist Flick complements an existing feature, Double Tap, creating a hands-free user experience. Apple's WWDC 2025 also revealed other enhancements for WatchOS, including Workout Buddy, which provides personalized fitness coaching and insights.
Wrist Flick is the latest hand gesture that Apple Watch wearers can use to dismiss messages or notifications they aren't ready to answer just yet.
These hand gestures allow for a nearly hands-free experience, eliminating multiple taps or two-handed dismissals, great when carrying groceries or a sleeping child.
