Gboard for Wear OS updated with enhanced text input, multi-language support, and a new look

07 May 2021
This is the year that Google is expected to continue making improvements to its wearable platform.

Sort by:

Wear OS is getting resurrected and looking better and better. After Google I\O this month I'm really looking forward to a proper Snapdragon Wear 4100 smartwatch with Wear OS to get back to the system and ditch the limited Huawei proprietary OS (or keep it as a smart band).
That Ticwatch Pro3 is to bulky and badly build for me. Something similar in design to the first Huawei Watch (Android one, not GT) but with SD4100, GPS, NFC for GPay, ambient light sensor and 500+mAh battery to last 3-5 days (if they optimize the OS) would be ideal.

                It`s not entirely true, it's not that they can't, it's that they don't want to. Here shows a easy way to bypass the region lock without any advanced knowledge https://www.techtalkblog.info/post/googlepaywearosbrasil. That's proof the lack of interest of Google in your own watch OS

Most use the keyboard and reactions to it's arrival confirm this. Feel free to hype your prefered platform, it's a more effective way to achieve your end goal.

                      This clearly shows how poor google prioritizes imp features, they should fix giogle assist bugs on wear instead of keyboard that people hardly uses

                        They still can't provide GPay on Wear OS in regions where it works on phones. So don't expect any innovations from Wear OS

                            this type writing option is not good because watch is too small and how we can able to write things.
