Galaxy Watch Ultra Double Pinch Camera Issue

[Yogesh253]

Does anyone facing issue of not able to capture a picture on phone camera by using double pinch gesture with Galaxy Watch Ultra? It is doing everything else as receiving, ending call, play pause music but capture picture.

@Yogesh253 Did you open the Camera controller app on the watch before trying the double pinch?

It worked fine for me. 

[Yogesh253]

Yes, it worked. I thought it would work directly without opening the app if the camera is open on the phone.
Thanks.

my pinch gesture did not work till I tapped the pinch/shutter (bottom center) first, as soon as the app launched.  It would vibrate but not take.

this is assuming that you can even load the camera controller app on the Galaxy Ultra watch .. as of right now, you can't.... love it

My double tap and knock knock doesn't work at all. Keeps telling me to put on my watch to try it but I'm already wearing the watch. Did software update. Toggle, dolby settings on and off multiple times and nothing

I had to change watch to my other hand due to tattoos on my left. None of the gestures worked. I would get message to put the watch on. Switching hands resolved all of it.

Oh s*** that's kind of ironic yet.My whole left wrist is all tattooed
