Find Hub for Wear OS adds very basic ‘Find people’ app
Google is rolling out an update to Find Hub on Wear OS that adds a “Find people” app to your watch. The experience was previously just for your devices.
Google has released an update to the Find Hub app on Wear OS devices, introducing a basic "Find people" feature. This feature is designed to locate users' friends and associates whose locations have been shared. The "Find people" icon takes on a green color and a radar-like design, similar to the existing "Find devices" feature.
Upon launching, the app displays a list of people who have opted to share their location and for how long this information will be visible. However, instead of providing a map of the person's location directly on the wrist, the app only informs that they "Can see your location until you turn off" with a "View their location on phone" link.
It remains uncertain whether this is the intended functionality or if a server-side update is required to display a basic map view, as currently available with devices. The app also contains a bug when the "Settings" option is tapped on the main screen, which launches Google Play services in full. This update is version 1.0.429.0 and is available via the Google Play Store.
