Feeling lost with watchOS 7 dropping Force Touch? Let’s get you up to speed.
Apple’s watchOS platform, more than any other, feels like a bit of a testing ground, and features tend to be added and removed fairly regularly (remember being able to « time travel » with a turn of the Digital Crown?) – and now Force Touch has been cut out of watchOS 7. Still, we perhaps should have expected it given 3D Touch was removed from the iPhone, but that may have left users wondering just what they can use to replace the pressure-sensitive input method. Luckily, we’ve put together this guide to help you forget all about Force Touch. Force Touch, as with most of the inputs on Apple Watch, is context-specific. That means that pushing in on your Home Screen, for example, would have a different effect to pushing in on your app layout, as an example.
