Many smartwatchers are curious about the Wear OS 3 update, which is based on Android 11. Google’s wearables operating system is coming, but Google has probably introduced a new system update screen in the run-up to it.
New System Update Screen
9to5Google writes that in version 21.42.18 of the software for wearables comes a new screen with system updates. You can find the screen in the settings app under system. Often Wear OS is updated by the Play Store through apps themselves. You will soon be able to see more information about your device in the new system updates screen.
You will initially see that your watch is up to date, which is familiar to users of this operating system, but then you will see the Android version and the Android security update. This way you always know at a glance whether your system has the most recent updates installed, which is not only positive for use, but also for the security of the system.
You used to see the security updates too, but you had to look at the bottom of the version list for that. The Android variant could be seen at system version, which was indicated by an H (which stood for Hematite) a certain mineral that contains iron.
Wear OS
There seem to be more and more people with Wear OS, which is partly because Google and Samsung work together. With the sales of the Galaxy Watch 4, the use of Wear OS is also skyrocketing. In the third quarter of 2021, Wear OS had a market share of 17.3 percent. A gigantic increase, because last year it was only 3.2 percent in this period. Apple holds 21.8 percent of the market share with its Apple Watch.
It will be a while before we can expect the official Wear OS 3 update. This will come in 2022. However, the new system update screen will be rolling out in the coming days.
