Adjust motor skills settings on Apple Watch Ultra
If you have trouble using the touchscreen, you can adjust settings to change how the screen responds to touches.
Set side button and Digital Crown button speed
Open the Settings app
on your Apple Watch Ultra.Go to Accessibility > Button Click Speed, then choose a speed.
You can also open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, tap My Watch, then go to Accessibility > Button Click Speed.
Use Touch Accommodations
Open the Settings app
on your Apple Watch Ultra.Go to Accessibility > Touch Accommodations to do any of the following:
Respond to touches of a certain duration: Turn on Hold Duration, then tap the plus or minus buttons to adjust the duration.
To perform swipe gestures without waiting for the specified hold duration, tap Swipe Gestures, then turn on Swipe Gestures. You can choose the amount of required movement before a swipe gesture begins.
Ignore multiple touches: Turn on Ignore Repeat, then tap the plus or minus buttons to adjust the amount of time allowed between multiple touches. Then, if you touch the screen several times quickly, your Apple Watch Ultra treats the touches as a single touch.
Respond to the first or last place you touch: Choose Use Initial Touch Location or Use Final Touch Location.
If you choose Use Initial Touch Location, your Apple Watch Ultra uses the location of your first tap—when you tap an app on the Home Screen, for example. If you choose Use Final Touch Location, your watch registers the tap where you lift your finger. Apple Watch Ultra responds to a tap when you lift your finger within a certain period of time. Tap the plus or minus buttons to adjust the timing. Your device can respond to other gestures, such as drags, if you wait longer than the gesture delay.
You can also open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, tap My Watch, then go to Accessibility > Touch Accommodations.
