Samsung used Wear OS, which it developed together with Google, instead of its own software, in the smart watch Galaxy Watch 4, which it launched last year. However, contrary to expectations, it did not come with a smart assistant to rival Siri on the Apple Watch. The current Bixby is not supported in all countries. However, after the time passed, the expected Google Assistant update for Watch 4 was announced.
Galaxy Watch 4 got Google Assistant support!
With the update coming today, the Google Assistant era has officially started on the Galaxy Watch 4 smart watches. Of course, it should be noted that Bixby is still included in the device and they will work together just like smartphone models.
Samsung’s 6-year-old smartwatch runs Wear OS
Google’s Wear OS platform was run on the Samsung Gear S3 smart watch model, which was released with the Tizen operating system.
On the other hand, Bixby will not be needed as Google Assistant works in almost all countries where Samsung and Google operate. Let’s say that our country is also included in this. But the support offered is not just that.
According to the sharing made by Samsung, thanks to Google Play support, you will now be able to install and use applications such as Google Assistant, Google Maps, Google Pay and YouTube Music on your smart watch.
In addition, let’s say that Google is preparing to introduce its own Pixel Watch model. In fact, a preview was made at the I/O event held the other day. However, its detailed features are expected to be shown in the introduction. However, it should be noted that the probability of it coming to our country is quite low. Therefore, those who want to experience WearOS will have to turn to Samsung for now.
