Yes, there are new haptic features for Apple Watch introduced in watchOS 11. Specifically, the double tap gesture has been expanded to work in more places within your app. This includes scrolling through lists, scroll views, and vertical style tap views. Additionally, you can identify a primary action to perform with the double tap gesture, such as activating a button or toggle in your app, widget, or live activity in the smart stack. The system will automatically highlight the outline of the button or toggle to provide a visual indication that this is the action that will be invoked.
