When Samsung also opted for Wear OS 3 on its Galaxy Watch 4 watches opened the door to Google apps to benefit both companies from the merger of Wear OS and Tizen. For the first time, Samsung Galaxy Watch users could use Google Maps, Google Pay, Google Messages or YouTube Music on their watches, waiting for the arrival of the google assistant.
Well, after months of waiting, that day has come and Bixby is no longer the only assistant available for the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4. Now, as is the case with Samsung mobiles, the Galaxy Watch 4 can also use the Google Assistant
The Google Assistant is coming to the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4
Back in February, we learned about the redesign of the Google Assistant for Wear OS, with the announcement that it would soon hit the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4something that finally happened today. Samsung confirmed that starting today, Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 users will be able to install the google assistant.
The download of google assistant will be done through play store of Samsung Galaxy Watch 4, so it is the user who decides if they want to install the Google Assistant on their watch. Once the new Assistant is installed, the user can go to the configuration of their watch to set the new default assistant and activate the active word “Ok Google” or “Hey Google” to be able to perform voice commands without having to touch the screen.
The negative part is that Samsung has announced that the Google Assistant for its Galaxy Watch 4 watches are only available in ten countries: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, United Kingdom and United States. It also reports that it supports 12 languages including Danish, English (American, Canadian, British, Australian, Irish), Japanese, Korean, SpanishFrench (Canadian, French) and Taiwanese.
It is curious that the Google Assistant for the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 supports Spanish but they have not announced Europe among the supported countries. Since this is a staggered launch, it shouldn’t take long to reach all the countries in which the Google Assistant is available.
