Android Wear 2.0 Developer Preview Features and Updates: iOS Support and Revamped Design Among Highlights of Update; How to Download
Nens MitchellIn a developer preview of the Android Wear 2.0, Google allowed users to experience how iOS support will work for the operating system. Fans are also looking forward to the other improvements that this update will introduce.
iOS support and features
PC World reported that the update will have iOS support to allow iPhone users to enjoy the features of this operating system. Watches paired with iOS devices, but run on Android wear will also be able to do tasks like opening web pages with the help of an iPhone.
In addition, Wired said that aside from pairing Android watches with an iPhone, owners can also install applications from Play Store. The interaction by the watch and the iPhone is almost similar to the process in the Apple Watch.
Design and other highlights
Users can also expect a navigation drawer with the update allowing individuals to easily go through applications on their smartwatches. Some watches may already have an Android Pay feature.
Aside from these, a layout change is also part of the Android Wear 2.0 update to accommodate round devices and introduce a circular scrolling gesture. Fans may not have to wait for a very long time since Google is said to be launching this update early this month on two watches.
How to download
For those who want to try the developer preview of the Android Wear 2.0, all they need to do is back up data before downloading the update on the watch then also download and install the Android Wear app on the iPhone. Once paired, a series of instructions will appear on both devices to help users easily use the smartwatch with the iPhone.
From here, they can already run and use their Android smartwatches paired with an iPhone. What do you think of the upcoming Android Wear 2.0 update?
