The Google I / O has left us a good barrage of news. We have already given you a summary of everything presented, with Google's first folding phone, the Pixel Fold, as the main novelty of the event. But there were other surprises that we did not want to miss, such as the news that comes to Wear OS 4.

 

In case you don't know Wear OS, say that it is Google's operating system for smart watches. A couple of years ago he surprised with Wear OS 3, a version created jointly with Samsung and that offered a few new features.

 

And now, although there have been some notable updates, we have the arrival of Wear OS 4 , which will make a difference with some very interesting news, as indicated by Google in the press release it has published.

 

This is the new that Wear OS will bring to your smartwatch

Before continuing, say that Wear OS 4 is not available at the moment , but Google has taken advantage of its annual developer conference to show us some previews of what the next version of its acclaimed operating system for watches will have. If Samsung abandoned Tizen to adopt Wear OS, it's because it works really well.And the arrival of this new version will suit your smart watch very well. Mainly because a few news arrive. To begin with, you will be able to interact more in applications such as Gmail or WhatsApp , since they will have improvements. You will be able to access these platforms completely, being able to see the chat history, to give an example.

 

Another of the most interesting novelties has to do with Google Home. In this way, your smart watch with wear OS will adopt new functions, being able to unlock doors or see who has called the doorbell among other functions compatible with the Nest family of the Mountain View-based giant.

 

Finally, there will be new improvements for other apps such as Spotify and that will allow us to play all kinds of content more comfortably from a direct link so as not to have to depend on the clock.

 

And developers are in luck, as Google also announced the launch of the Watch Face format, created in collaboration with Samsung, so that developers and designers can easily create high-quality, low-power watch faces for Wear OS 4.

 

Regarding the release date of this new version and compatible models, at the moment Google has not provided more information, so we will have to wait for the next few months to find out if your smartwatch with Wear OS will be compatible with the next version.
