How to update Samsung Galaxy Watch’s apps through your phone?
While system updates can sometimes be important for privacy and security, app updates are usually more about bringing new features and cleaning up software bugs. Occasional updates are a good idea to enjoy each app to the fullest.
But can you download app updates only on your smartphone? No, you can do it on your smartwatch as well. Samsung Galaxy Watches, especially the Galaxy Watch 4 are compatible to download a lot of applications so you can easily use them for different purposes without even picking up your phone from your pocket.
