Simplifying the Process of Changing Wear OS Watch Faces
Changing the watch face on a Wear OS device isn’t particularly challenging. Users can easily switch faces using a companion app on their smartphones or directly through the Play Store available on their smartwatches. Interestingly, there’s even an option that allows for automatic application of newly downloaded watch faces.
Upcoming Enhancements to Watch Face Application
Recent investigations by Android Authority have revealed that Google is actively working to streamline this process further. The latest update to the Google Play Store for mobile devices (version 43.9.17-31) introduces a new feature: after clicking “Install” on a selected watch face, users will see an alternate button appear once installation is complete. This button changes to “Set as watch face,” allowing for immediate application with just one more click.
This enhancement promises convenience, enabling users to apply new designs effortlessly—even if their phone and smartwatch are not in close proximity at that moment.
