Android Wear 2.0 coming to Huawei Watch and Moto 360 2015 by the end of May

Android Wear 2.0 will be released at the end of May for older watches, such as the Huawei Watch and Moto 360 from 2015, and the Asus Zenwatch 2 and Zenwatch 3. Google has announced this. The update has been delayed several times.

Users of the Huawei Watch, among others, have been able to run Android Wear 2.0 as a test version since last May, but an unknown bug forced Google to postpone the release of the final version. The update for the older watches will start at the end of April and all watches must run on Android Wear 2.0 by the end of May, Google reports on the support forum.

Google presented Android Wear 2.0, along with the LG Watch Style and Watch Sport, the first smartwatches that run on the new platform. With the update, the watches will have access to watch faces to which third parties can add ‘complications’. That was not possible until now. Replying to messages via scribbles and a small keyboard will also be possible with the update. In addition, it is possible to install apps on the watch and to choose not to display apps that are on the phone with a Wear app on the wearable.

In addition, Google Assistant is available on watches. That is currently only in English and German, but the internet company promises to release the digital assistant in more languages ​​in the coming months. Wear 2.0 is the first major update to the wearables platform since its release in the summer of 2014.
