Customize your Wear OS watch
Wear OS lets you choose what information you need in your day to day life with the swipe of your finger. With this new feature in Keep you can now dictate a note or checklist from your wrist , as well as being able to manage those made from other devices directly from your watch.
As if this were not enough, Bitmoji will arrive sooner than you imagine on your watch screen. So you can design your own personal avatar to have it on your watch and change its expression depending on the weather, physical activity or time of day, in different circumstances.
Handy accessibility tools
To make it easier for deaf and hard of hearing people, sound notifications within Live Transcribe & Notifications can detect critical household sounds like fire alarms, running water, knocking on the door and alert you when they happen.
You will be informed about these sounds on your smart watch or phone with vibrations or flashing light , very handy for people with hearing loss or even if you use headphones.
In addition, with the personalized sounds you can add your own sounds to the alert library, recording it to receive notifications in the future.
With the blind and partially sighted in mind, audio descriptions on Google TV narrate live visual information so you don’t miss a thing. Now you can find a curated library of movies with audio descriptions on Google TV from the Google Assistant.
