Huawei Watch has been getting an update to Android Wear 2.0 since this weekend

Huawei Watch is currently getting the update for Android Wear 2.0. Some users reported on Reddit that the update was already rolled out this weekend. The update makes it possible, among other things, to install apps and respond directly to messages via a small keyboard.

Users of the Huawei Watch, the smartwatch from 2015, report on Reddit that they received a notification that the update is available. People who do not see the notification are advised to turn off Bluetooth and connect to Wi-Fi. Android Central also reports that the update is available from now on. The update should be available through the system settings.

Earlier, Google announced that Android Wear 2.0 would be released at the end of May for older watches, such as the Huawei Watch and the Moto 360 from 2015. Users of the Huawei Watch, among others, have been able to run Android Wear 2.0 as a test version since May last year, but an unknown one. bug forced Google to postpone the release of the final version.

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. Overall, the update should improve the smartwatch’s performance and make the display better suited to the circular display.
