Wear OS watches might soon be able to send RCS messages without your phone's help

02 October 2024
Watches can already send and receive RCS messages, but only if they go through your phone first - and that's an issue for using LTE watches by themselves.

My GW4 does it from Day 1. I don't know how you're all not able to do it right now.

          RCS is a trap.

            Lacek, 02 Oct 2024my Galaxy W4 lasts about 2 days - 2.5 days with Wear OSMy watch that... lets see, have nice crisp oled screen, phone function, notifications with reply option, gps, great fit and health sensors and training app, nice pick of watch faces, calendar, calculator, voice notes, games, including one in store, as I can use custom apps too... can last almost two weeks....

            So can someone explain me why anyone would buy watch with WearOS that is just broken gutted phone OS that mess battery and life of people using it?
            It have nothing that eg Amazfit or huawei/xiaomi watches could do AS A WATCH.
            Last time I asked that someone mention that they can use browser and youtube on it... and my jaw hit the floor as someone seriously buy watch with 1.5 screen to browse internet...
