With AssistiveTouch on, is the touchscreen still enabled, and you can still use the touch screen? Or are you only able to use the hand gestures now?
Lexy Savvides
June 30, 2021 at 8:37 pm
Great question! Yes the touchscreen still works when you have it on
Lexy Savvides
June 30, 2021 at 8:38 pm
Let me know what questions you have about any of the features so I can dig into it for you! ⌚️

I’d like to see a comparison of the Apple Watch car features on several luxury cars. Just ask CNET to buy or lease a few for you.????

@John Miller ???? love it. But in all seriousness yes I’d definitely like to test it out when the feature rolls out later in the year/find a compatible vehicle

I want to check this beta out on my 6 series but not sure if the public release automatically installs, like is there any rollbacks like ios? Thanks ✌????????????
Joey Ragan
July 1, 2021 at 5:26 pm
No once you update you watch you can not go back to os7. This is directly from the Apple beta page: Please note Apple Watch cannot be restored to previously-released OS versions once the public beta is installed.

is assistive touch compatible with apple watch 3?
Lawrence Fearon
July 2, 2021 at 9:57 am
Assistive Touch is an epic watch control input. That itself justifies the device. Imagine remote engine start apps turning on your car with a gesture. ????⌚️????????????
