New Delhi: Google has rolled out updates for some of the main Wear OS apps that are expected to work with the Pixel Watch. The Phone, Fitbit and Weather apps were being updated ahead of the new wearable’s launch event on Thursday (US time).
A new Weather app has been added for Wear OS 3 smartwatches. The app only displays the weather of the wearer’s current location. When allowed, weather data, UV index, precipitation, and forecasts for the next eight hours and the next five days are displayed from Weather.com.
A Phone app has also been added to the Google Play Store on Wear OS. The Phone app on Wear OS makes calling features possible whether via Bluetooth or standalone.
For better readability, the user interface (UI) has large icons and large text so that the caller’s name is easily visible.
The Fitbit app has been updated with a new UI. There are three main tabs – Discover, Today and Community, while the Premium tab has been removed.
