Google introduced Wear OS 4 with more apps
By ForGeeks While Google Wear OS 3 is not used on many smartwatches, the Android maker has announced its next version, Wear OS 4. It will arrive later this year and promises a more useful set of apps for the watch, better battery management and better accessibility with updated text and speech input.
Wear OS 4 will be available later this year.
Wear OS 4 provides improved integration with Google Home and even more control options for connected devices. The company also confirmed additional features for its Google Workspace, Gmail and Calendar apps.
Some developers are also participating in WhatsApp, offering their first watch app with end-to-end encryption, voice response and calls on the device. Spotify is adding new widgets for easier access to your favorite tunes and podcasts. Peloton is adding a workout bar widget to its Wear OS 4 app. Samsung and Google have also co-developed a new watch face format that makes it easier for developers to create a watch face and reduces the strain on your battery.

Another important addition to Wear OS 4 is the ability to back up and restore the watch without resetting. The company has not disclosed official information about which smartwatches will receive Wear OS 4, but the next-generation Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 series is expected to be first in line.
