Google recently released its Wear OS 4 Beta software, and Samsung quickly integrated the One UI 5 Watch beta for its Galaxy Watch4 and Watch5 series, so people can familiarize themselves with the changes before the final software release. reach the masses. One of the coolest new changes to Wear OS may be the ability to switch phones without having to reset your watch.
Samsung’s current Wear OS 3.5 version and corresponding One UI Watch version 4.5 force you to factory reset your smartwatch every time you switch phones, which is quite annoying. While the software allows you to fully backup your settings and preferences, some things like third-party watch faces and the arrangement of icons in the app drawer are lost in the process.
Well, in the One UI Watch 5 beta, you don’t need to anymore. Once you start the transfer process to another phone, a message will ask if the Google account on the watch matches the one on the new smartphone.
It’s perhaps important to note that this feature was tested on a Galaxy Watch5, so devices running Vanilla Wear OS 4 may not get it. However, we believe this is a core feature, so there’s a good chance everyone will get it.
