Google is making Wear OS watches more self-reliant in emergencies
- Google is upgrading how Wear OS smartwatches deliver earthquake alerts.
- Wear OS watches might soon be able to deliver these safety alerts even when they are not paired with a smartphone.
- It’s unclear if Google plans to start using data from Wear OS watches for Android’s Earthquake Alerts System.
Android’s Earthquake Alerts System can detect and warn users about earthquakes by aggregating sensor data from millions of phones. Last year, Google brought this feature to Wear OS smartwatches, providing users with warnings about seismic activity directly on their wrists. Now, Google appears to be taking the feature a step further on Wear OS, allowing it to work independently without a paired smartphone.
