Samsung has released a new update for the Galaxy Wearable app, which enhances its user interface and overall functionality. This app helps you manage your wearable devices and track their features right from your phone.
The latest update introduces a new look for the Watch settings interface. The new layout allows for quicker navigation and better access to your favorite settings as the update brings major changes.
Previously, options like watch faces, apps, tiles, and quick settings were shown in a vertical grid, which could feel crowded. Now, they are arranged in a horizontal bar, making it simpler to find what you need.
In addition to the revamped Watch Setting interface, the update also adds a feature to provide a preview of important menu items. Users can now see Notifications, Display, Health, and Pay right under the Watch Settings tab.
By this change, you can easily glance at key options without searching through multiple menus, which adds to the convenience.
Furthermore, the update also brings One UI 6 Watch Faces for older Galaxy smartwatch models. The app’s Watch Faces section added a new “Featured watch faces” tab that lets you download the One UI 6 Watch faces.
Overall, these enhancements improve the experience for Galaxy smartwatch users. You can get the most out of your device with a more organized interface and easy access to essential features.
The new update is available for download through the Galaxy Wearable app and the Galaxy Store. Users are advised to install the update promptly to benefit from the new features and improvements.
