The launch of the Galaxy Watch 4 line was a major issue in that it regained the partnership between Google and Samsung on Wear OS. This is what the platform was desperately needed to find a new life. That partnership also meant Google services back to Samsung watches, including the Google Assistant.as you know After waiting a few monthsNeither Galaxy Watch 4 nor Galaxy Watch 4 Classic have an assistant, and in February it was said that it could take a few more months.
Things seem to be changing today, according to An update that hits the Verizon variant of the Galaxy Watch 4 line. The update has begun to be deployed as build QU1FVC8 (R885USQU1FVC8) and is listed in the change log where you can access the Google Assistant.
Samsung has not yet announced that the Google Assistant is here. Please wait for a while while updating or finding more information. However, the (very low resolution) image (above) included with Verizon shows that the Google Assistant is also an option to enable with “Hey Google” activation. “If you have downloaded the Google Assistant,[Googleアカウント]Under[設定]It will be displayed in the menu. “
The strange thing here is that it ’s Samsung. release a resemble At the beginning of the month, update to another model such as R870XXU1FVC8 or R890XXU1FVC8 that does not have the Google Assistant listed in the change log. Did Verizon jump the gun here?
I was told in February This makes sense because the Google Assistant appears on these Watch 4 devices as a standalone app that needs to be downloaded. Of course, this particular software update may be required to add the above menu to turn on the assistant to your watch.
Once updated, all you have to do is open Google Play on Watch 4 and find your assistant. Or have them pulled from your mobile phone.
If you have a Verizon Galaxy Watch 4, please let us know when you see this update. I want to see the menu.
- update: At least one reader was able to get the new update, but still can’t find the Google Assistant. Verizon says it needs to “download” the Google Assistant, which could mean that it’s still waiting for Google to publish it for the watch. This could be a situation where Verizon was a bit early, even with an update that provides assistant support. And now we are just waiting again.
