Galaxy Watch 8 starts getting Wear OS 7 in beta
Ahead of a wider stable rollout expected to come later this year, Samsung is finally bringing Wear OS 7 to the Galaxy Watch 8 series in beta.
Samsung is rolling out Wear OS 7 to the Galaxy Watch 8 series in beta ahead of a wider release later this year. The update, available on the Galaxy Watch 9, is based on One UI 9 Watch and is currently live in South Korea. Users can register for the beta program through the Samsung Members app, with more regions, including the US, expected to join soon.
The main additions in this update are health-related features, but it also enables Gemini's Raise to Talk feature on older devices. Samsung has also updated gestures and made minor UI changes in this release. However, the timeline for updating devices older than the Galaxy Watch 5 remains unclear.
