Apple continues to improve the features of its smart watches day by day. The Apple Watch continues its evolution both at the hardware and software levels. In fact, the Californian company officially launched watchOS 10.2 with a series of highly relevant new features that elevate the Apple Watch to stratospheric levels with respect to the competition.

One of the most interesting new features of the watchOS 10.2 software update lies in the introduction of a new on-screen touch gesture to change the Apple Watch faces more comfortably by simply sliding sideways.
Below we tell you how to activate this function to change the faces of the Apple Watch and how it works.
How to activate the function to change dials with touch gestures
The Apple Watch allows you to change the default watch faces by holding your finger on them and then choosing another watch face. But watchOS 10.2 includes a new option that is much more convenient for most users.
The watchOS 10.2 feature allows you to switch watch faces by swiping left or right from the edge of the screen, depending on which watch face you want to select.
Follow these instructions to activate changing faces by swiping sideways on Apple Watch with watchOS 10.2:
- Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch.
- Then access the Clock section.
- Finally activate the function to change the dials by sliding with touch gestures.
There is no doubt that this is a really useful and convenient feature. It is much more comfortable and, in addition, Apple continues to keep the two options available to switch between spheres. So that each user can choose which method they prefer. Thanks Apple!
