- Google has confirmed that Wear OS 6 will offer media controls on a smartwatch’s always-on display.
- This will allow you to control your music playback without turning on your watch’s screen.
- It seems like the always-on display could support more than just media controls, though.
Google announced Wear OS 6 earlier this month, bringing some visual changes in line with its Material 3 Expressive design language. However, it looks like a welcome addition to the always-on display went unnoticed until now.
Google quietly revealed on its Android Developers website (h/t: 9to5Google) that media controls will stay active on the always-on display when you’re not using your Wear OS 6 smartwatch. Check out the image below for a better idea of what we mean.
