The Google team was surprised with a new feature for Wear OS. After a long time without news, Google announced that Wear OS watches will have the Gboard keyboard.
And of course, this update brings many benefits and improves the user experience. We tell you some of the features offered by this version of Google’s keyboard on your Wear OS watch.
Google announces Gboard for Wear OS
If Gboard is your favorite keyboard on mobile, you’ll be happy to know that you’ll be able to extend the experience to your Wear OS watch, thanks to Google’s new update.
As with the current keyboard on Wear OS, Gboard will allow the user to choose between different input methods. So you’ll be able to opt for voice input, gestures, or the QWERTY keyboard depending on the circumstances or your preferences. And of course, you can’t miss the emojis for those occasions that are worth a quick response.
All these options will be available every time you want to send a message, as you can see in the image:
And if you have already chosen the QWERTY keyboard, don’t worry, since you will be able to access directly from its interface to the emojis or use direct access to the microphone. So you will not have to complicate with different menus and options.
And of course, we will also have the extra help of the keyboard word suggestions that will save us a lot of time, and the corrections to quickly edit the text. On the other hand, a bonus that Gboard offers is that it allows the user to switch languages with a simple touch. And it doesn’t matter if you have another language configured in the watch system, as you can use all supported languages on the keyboard.
This change in the default keyboard of Wear OS watches will be available in the coming days.
