The Google Wear OS support page has a new entry suggesting details for a new update to the Wear OS’s GBoard App. It is a welcome move as users have been hoping that Google pays some attention to Wear OS as the smartwatch platform is not in the best position as of now.
The reviews have been mediocre, multiple users have discouraged fellow buyers to opt for an Apple smartwatch or Samsung Galaxy Smartwatch. While the last major update on Wear OS was received during the release of Android 9 (Pie).
The Gboard update will make it easier for users to type on their smartphones with swipe type. The connectivity to other apps will also be improvised upon. Gboard has an emoji palette the user can utilize on the Wear OS.
Google has maintained the important features for its users on the Gboard app on Wear OS. This new update will permit the Users to choose their preferred method of input from the QWERTY keyboard to gesture input and voice input for a hands-free experience.
