Apple Watch Feature Request: Support double tap to play/pause
-
Just upgraded to an Apple Watch Series 9 and was excited to use the new double tap gesture to play pause podcasts one-handed. It was one of the first things I tried, and I was really disappointed when it didn’t work. 😔
Any plans to support double tap? I rather not use the limited functionality of the stock Now Playing app.

Putting in a vote for this feature as well – got my new watch last night and a bit surprised and disappointed that this hasn’t been added already as its a pretty perfect use case, though I guess it relies on people having fairly new watches.

Perhaps you’ve seen it, but Pocket Casts was just updated and now includes the double tap feature!
