Wear OS 4 has been announced with many new additions like Watch Face Format
This is not the end of what Google has prepared for this years' I/O. They have announced the Wear OS 4 with many new features, including:
The Watch Face Format has been made with Samsung for developers to have an easier way to develop watch faces. It won't require programming APK's as Wear OS will render the watch face so developers have less things to worry about as the watch faces will be more power-efficient.
Wear OS 4 will also extend battery life and let you back up and restore your watch without factory resetting the watch (finally 😁). It will also bring new and improved accessibility features like text-to-speech.
The developer preview and emulator images for Wear OS 4 are available today, and it'll come to consumers later this year.
