Wear OS Galaxy Watch users can now manage their schedules on their wrists
Google is actively working towards enhancing its WearOS ecosystem. Recently, the company released its latest Wear OS 4 operating system, which includes several new changes for smartwatches. It introduces many new additions under different built-in functions such as tiles, watch faces, splash screens, and many more. Along with this, Google has also gradually introduced its important stock applications, like earlier when it introduced the Gmail application, and now it has released the Google Calendar application.
Google Calendar app finally arrives on Wear OS Galaxy Watches
The Calendar application for smartwatches will give you more new functionalities that help in managing events according to particular data or time. With the application, users will be able to view the schedule. Along with this, you can do a lot more things, like take information about events like location, notes, notifications, and what calendar something is saved to, and also be able to adjust whether you’re attending.
Samsung Galaxy Watch users can try these four new useful Wear OS apps
To bring convenience Google Calendar adds two new WearOS tiles for “Next event” and “Next tasks,” which show two upcoming entries. ‘More’ just opens the full app. Additionally, there is one more calendar complication, “Next event,” while other existing date complications will ask whether you want to open the Google Calendar or the Agenda app going forward.
For your information, the Agenda app was previously available for WearOS watches, which were introduced last year in November with WearOS 3.5. It also brings some features to manage events, but it has limitations. Therefore, Google has released the Calendar application for smartwatches.
Users who own smart watches powered by WearOS can now easily install the Google Calendar application through the Google Play Store. Be aware of fake applications, and to ensure that you are installing the official application, check the developer name, which should be Google LLC.
Samsung has released the Galaxy Enhance-X’s new update. The company doesn’t attach any specific changelog for the application; therefore, it looks like a standard improvement update, but after the installation, we got to know about some new changes in editing sections. Let’s take a deeper look.
Samsung Galaxy Enhance-X: new changes
Samsung has rolled out the new update for the Enhance-X with version number 2.0.89. With the latest version, users will get some new interface changes, including a new redesign of the editing suggestions and a new set of icons.
When you open a picture or video in the Galaxy Enhance-X, it automatically analyzes the content with its AI and suggests to you a set of options that you can use to easily edit. Despite the redesign of these options, the series of suggestions has not introduced any additional innovation.
Along with the icon changes, the company has also changed the order of them. The company has moved the ‘Fix lens distortion’ option from the section that offers the option of real test adjustment image or cropping to the secure related faces.
Installation
To get the advantages of fresh changes, you can check for the latest update. To do that, just go to the Galaxy Store and check for the list of updates. If you find the Galaxy Enhance-X new update available, tap on the update icon to get it on your device.
WhatsApp is one of the popular social media giants that is commonly used worldwide; however, at the same time that WhatsApp became popular gradually, several social media applications arrived, but they didn’t survive in the market. WhatsApp, with its convenient features, has a strong consumer base and is successful in providing better services. However, users who use the beta application sometimes get issues, like recently encountered annoying bug issues while opening the documents.
According to the reports, several users have faced an issue where they are unable to download the document file. Specifically, when they tap on the download button, it reacts as if the application is out of network and shows a pop-up message that says, “The download was unable to complete. Please try again later.” It is worth noticing that the issue only appears for beta testers. So a stable user will not get any trouble from this issue.
Usually, this type of pop-up message appears when you are not connected to the proper network. But according to the information, several beta testers are facing this issue while on a strong network. Most probably, it might be some server-side problem with interpreting the stable network.
However, WhatsApp has resolved the issue with the latest update, version 2.24.10.15. So if you are also facing the same issue, then try to update the application to the latest version. To do that, go to the Google Play Store, then search for WhatsApp, and tap on the update button.
Google already made the Android 15 Beta 1.2 available to download for Pixel owners and is gradually but actively moving towards the stable version. The stable version of Android 15 could offer more access to third-party developers for Digital Wellbeing tools.
A few years ago, Google introduced its Digital Wellbeing application in 2019, this helps users balance their digital lives by tracking how much time they spend on each application. It includes various tools such as Dashboard, App timers, and more.
Third-party developers have been limited in how they can use the digital wellbeing tools, but that may be changing with Android 15. For now, third-party applications can only make Do Not Disturb schedules using Android’s Digital Wellbeing APIs, but in the scenarios where Android 15 lands by the end of this year, they will get the power to more fully make use of the tools Google has been keeping to itself.
Particularly, third-party applications will be permitted to make changes to the screen, for instance, by turning off the Always On Display or authorizing Dark Mode. Granted, developers have acknowledged workarounds to enable those features, but now it appears that those functionalities will have official support, a report says.
If this report came true, then users would have a wider variety of applications to manage screen time and focus at their convenience, instead of relying simply on Google’s built-in tools. However, a few core functionalities; for instance, disabling touch and adjusting brightness will possibly remain restricted. It will be interesting to see the exact change in the stable version.
