As reported by 9to5Mac, Apple quietly removed the app switcher from Apple Watches with watchOS 27. As a result, users running the beta over the summer, or those who updated in September, were likely confused when double-clicking the Digital Crown: On watchOS 26 and earlier, that gesture pulls up a menu with all open apps, similar to the app switcher on iPhone. This allows you to quickly return to a previously used app without needing to dive into the "honeycomb" main app menu.
That might prove to be useful. The honeycomb menu can certainly make apps difficult to find, especially if you have a lot of them on your watch. But replacing the app switcher entirely doesn't make much sense: There's no guarantee Siri is going to list the recently used app you want to use on the new menu, so you might be forced to manually hunt for it anyway, whereas with the app switcher, you could quickly bounce back to any app, provided you had opened it recently.
The watchOS app switcher is coming back
It seems Apple is changing its mind (or coming to its senses): 9to5Mac recently spotted that the app switcher is back as of the watchOS 27.2 beta. Apple didn't make a note of the addition in any changelogs, so it's unclear why the company undid the change, but it's a welcome recursion—though at this point, there's no guarantee it will make it to the official build of watchOS 27.2. If you're hoping for similar news about Walkie-Talkie, unfortunately that feature has officially been discontinued, so don't expect to see it in a future update.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Speaking of which, the only way to try watchOS 27.2 now is to install the watchOS beta on your Apple Watch. That's a risky venture, since you can't downgrade back to watchOS 27 if something goes wrong. Still, if you're really missing the app switcher, you can get it back by enrolling your watch in Apple's beta.
