Google is going to bring new updates and improvements in the Wear OS for Android smartwatches. The improvements which are aiming at delivering an improved functioning and easy pairing, will be launched by the company in the coming Autumn. Support for the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 4100 and Snapdragon Wear 4100+ devices will be among the most important developments in the new Wear OS updates. According to information shared by the company, the new update will be based on the new Android 11 software which will bring the most hi-tech and advanced features.

The new Wear OS will bring a new feature named ‘hand wash timer’ that will remind the person wearing the device to wash hands at a regular time interval. With many predictions of the novel Coronavirus staying for a couple of years in some form or another, the new feature will help users maintain hygiene in a full-proof manner. In addition to reminding the users to wash hands frequently, the new Wear OS will also ensure that the users wash their hands properly by counting upto 20 seconds.
