@fanUk26 It's good that the community is growing! 

I would like to know if you are stating that these shortcuts are indeed working for you or if you are having issue with them. Could you share a picture of what you are seeing on the device?

I look forward to your reply.

sorry , i meant i can t. we are supposed to be able to add a shortcuts in the 4 corners but it does not seem to be working on my sense

@fanUk26 are you saying you can't figure out where in the Sense you go to select what these shortcuts are? That's in Settings->Shortcuts in the Double Press section you can turn this on or off and select which shortcut goes to each corner.

To access you double press the button on the side of the sense to bring up this shortcut list (a single press brings you back to the watchface, double press brings up shortcut menu)

The feature is very misleading. The corners are not actually "touch sensors" basically we have to press the main button and hold or double press option to get the 4 shortcuts on screen. Kind of pointless since you can set those via the main screen adjustments imo. Maybe they will add this feature in the next version but my guess is that the back of the hand or forearm would cause it to activate.

Thanks! Felt dumb touching the sensors and tapping the corners/sliding to it, haha.

I am still not understanding. I am unable to touch the corners or the left botton and get to the shortcuts I added? I am getting so frustrated. Someone help!

The corners feature only applies to when you double press the side button:

1. Double press the side button
2. Four app icons appear on your screen
3. Tap one of the four app icons.

The settings app calls these four app icons "top left," "top right," and so on.

There is no mechanism for using the screen corners without first double pressing the side buttons.

This feature is basically the same as adding your favoriate apps to the first "swipe left" app screen

Thank you for the explanation! this is very helpful! I kept touching the outside corners of the watch and nothing would happen.

I find this process extremely hit and miss. I can see the shortcuts on about one attempt in five. On the other four the screen switches off after the second press (squeeze). The touch button seems to be a poor substitute for a physical, moving one.
