I just purchased my an Apple Ultra 2 watch. When I get a call on the watch I cannot figure out how to answer the call on my watch. I have the cell subscription turned on I was able to transfer the call to my iPhone 14 pro. Any suggestions on how to answer a call on my Ultra 2 watch?

You can double-tap the button labeled call. I'm not sure why they gave it that label but it will answer the call. You could also do a 2-finger double-tap and that will also answer a call.

The all new never ever ever before seen feature they introduced for the first time in history on these new watches named double tap. Just tap your thumb and index finger together twice quickly.

P.S. the sarcasm was because they have had this feature since the Apple Watch 6 for anyone who doesn’t know, it was named assistive touch and was an accessibility feature with multiple gestures.

I figured out how to answer the phone on my Ultra 2 watch. Although I could not find any help in the Applevis website nor instructions on any other website, I just kept trying things until I figured it out. Just double tap the screen when the phone rings. I have never had a watch with cel service. I am not sure if this is any different from my other non-cel watches. There was nothing on the Ultra 2 watch screen that said answer the call. I think the non-cel watches had the answer icon for me just to tap. As far as assistive touch. Yes there are a ton of hand gestures to perform various actions on the watch. I had never used assistive touch. Seems like a lot of hand gestures to trigger actions that I do not want to occur. I'll wait until the new finger thumb tap is available on the watch os 10 to try it out.
