If you own a Galaxy Watch, we have good news for you. Yesterday Wear OS 5.1 was seen for the first time, which will reach watches compatible with Android 15 and this will be the one it is based on A UI 6.5 watch. It should be available soon, but what really interests us is that it will require having two new functions on our Samsung smartwatches.
Simplifying identifiers and music on your wrist
In fact, these are two important functions. On the one hand, we will have Credential Manageror Credential Manager. It has already arrived with Android 14 but not on watches, which will arrive with this update.
With this we can connect to a multitude of services in a unified waywhich will make our lives easier. It will be a system that will store our PINs and passwords and synchronize them across all our Android devices, saving us time and memory (ours, that of our heads).
On the other hand, with One UI 6.5 Watch. also comes audio playback through watch speakerwhich, to date, is not possible on Samsung watches. So, from this update we will no longer need the Galaxy Buds if we want to listen to our music on the watch itself.
All you have to do is wait a little longer to take advantage of these new functions which They will make One UI 6.5 nothing less than an update and in which we can find those interesting new features that we always expect with each new version of an operating system.
