If you own a Galaxy watch or a Samsung smart fitness tracker, you are definitely using Galaxy Wearable app in your Samsung phone. By this app, you can effectively manage and monitor all the wearable gears made by Samsung, including Galaxy watch. This app comes bundled with the all Galaxy phones released in the last few years, and you can also install the Galaxy Wearable apk in your phone by downloading it from numerous apk file sites.
Recently Samsung Push Service released an update at the beginning of this year, which brought some substantial changes in the Galaxy wearable app. Many new features introduced with this new update, also it fixed a few bugs in the app. Among the new features, watch face preview tab was the most important one. The users can now toggle more settings by this update, which is another crucial functionality this update came with.
Basically, Galaxy watch users now got an additional tab on their wearable app where they can preview different watch face styles to decide which one they want to choose. Even though most users will probably still be using a face on their watch to see how it looks on the actual watch before deciding, this cool feature would make the browsing process simpler.
And there are more watch settings to toggle on the Galaxy wearable app, thanks to this new update. Users now will be able to remap the Galaxy watch home button, double tapping on which they now can trigger any particular app on their watch.
And as we said, few bugs were also got fixed by this update. Many Galaxy watch users on Reddit shared their recent experience after the update. They claimed that they can now quickly get rid of those annoying persistent watch notifications which were frequently popping up, by just long pressing to disable them. Some users also noticed that the widget section also got fixed by this new update. Previously users weren't able to add new widgets or delete some already installed widgets; this update fixed that problem. However, it seems that Spotify remote mode still has some issues which remain unfixed, yet.
Now, there was another major update in April, and since its rollout in the mid-April, lots of users started complaining about some serious issues with the Galaxy wearable app. All the major Android forums, community forums of Samsung users, and the Google play store review pages got filled with numerous complains that their wearable app isn't working properly. The main issue it seems was, the wearable app wasn't letting the users log into their accounts in Samsung. Seemingly this was a problem mainly with non-Samsung device users, and they saw a blank screen instead of their login screen. Samsung phone users didn't report any such problem so far. Which means if you're using any other phone except Samsung, there's a high chance that you're affected by this bug too.
Though Samsung responded here quickly and posted in Samsung forum that they are already working on this issue, they failed to give any estimated turn around of when they are coming with a new update to fix this problem.
