Google’s Wear OS is finally getting a critical Apple Watch feature that lets you control your music and notifications on the go. This is a huge step forward for Wear OS, as it allows you to keep your notifications and music separate from your other activities.


Currently, Google has it set up so you can unlock your Chromebook from your Android phone, but now the company is adding the same type of crossover to Wear OS. Once the new feature goes live, you’ll be able to quickly unlock your Android smartphone or Chromebook from your Wear OS watch.

In a blog post, Google said the following:

It sounds like a valuable update for Wear OS, and it will go towards Google creating a more defined ecosystem where its devices work together. This comes along with Google announcing better integrations between Android and Windows PCs. It’s clear that with these moves, Google is looking at Apple’s ecosystem and trying to create something similar.
