Motorola has announced that they are rolling out the latest Android Wear update to their Moto 360 smartwatch, and the update brings WiFi support to Motorola’s smartwatch. This is a significant enhancement as it allows users to stay connected even when their smartphone is out of Bluetooth range, provided they have access to a WiFi network.
The video below demonstrates the new WiFi feature on the Motorola 360. This means that you can use the device when you are connected to WiFi but out of range of your smartphone. This feature is particularly useful for those who often find themselves in environments where their phone might not be immediately accessible, such as at the gym or while running errands.
New Features and Enhancements
The update also brings several other new features to the smartwatch, which includes the ability to scroll with gestures and Instant Emoji’s. Gesture scrolling allows users to navigate through their notifications and apps with simple wrist movements, making the device more intuitive and user-friendly. Instant Emojis enable users to quickly respond to messages with a variety of pre-set emojis, adding a fun and expressive way to communicate directly from the watch.
With Google beginning to roll out new Android Wear software for your Moto 360 starting today, you’ll soon be able to access apps and contacts quicker, receive heads-up notifications when you’re using another app, and worry less about your battery for continuously running apps. We’re also adding some new Moto Body features that will make it even easier to make Moto 360 a part of your daily life.
Enhanced User Experience
The update aims to enhance the overall user experience by making it easier to access apps and contacts. The heads-up notifications feature ensures that you won’t miss important alerts even when you are using another app. This multitasking capability is a significant improvement, allowing users to stay informed without constantly switching between screens.
Battery life has always been a concern for smartwatch users, and this update addresses that by optimizing the performance of continuously running apps. This means you can use your favorite apps without worrying about draining your battery too quickly.
Additionally, the update introduces new Moto Body features. Moto Body is Motorola’s health and fitness tracking suite, and the new features are designed to integrate more seamlessly into your daily routine. Whether you’re tracking your steps, monitoring your heart rate, or setting fitness goals, the updated Moto Body features make it easier to stay on top of your health metrics.
