- Google Calendar lastly has a local app for watchOS
- Nonetheless, Google has additionally simply pulled Google Hold for the Apple Watch
- There at the moment are solely three Google apps for watchOS
It is honest to say Google app assist for the Apple Watch is not essentially the most complete, so the arrival of a brand new Google Calendar app for Apple’s wearables would usually be one thing to rejoice – solely the Google Hold app has disappeared on the identical time.
The arrival of Google Calendar was noticed by the staff at 9to5Google. It is a fairly primary app, nevertheless it does the job: you get per week’s value of occasions, plus present Google Duties, and the colour coding is carried over from the principle app.
You may’t create new occasions or reminders from the Apple Watch, however there are two issues accessible, for exhibiting the following appointment and the present date. The truth is, it appears to be virtually an actual match for Google Calendar on Put on OS.
The information of Google Hold getting pulled from watchOS was additionally reported by 9to5Google. That takes the variety of official Google apps on the Apple Watch again down to 3 – with Google Maps and YouTube Music the opposite two.
Customers are shedding out, once more
It is disappointing to see that Google Hold is not accessible for the Apple Watch, as a result of it is simply the type of app you need at-a-glance entry to. It is maybe not a shock, although: the watchOS model of the app hadn’t been up to date for years.
And it is a disgrace that Google is so reluctant to place its apps on Apple’s wearable. Little question it might quite folks went with Android and Put on OS, however Google’s apps for the iPhone are among the greatest within the enterprise, and continuously up to date.
Meaning the hundreds of thousands of customers with an iPhone and an Apple Watch are lacking out in relation to getting their Google app information on their wrists. That is extra more likely to push the plenty in the direction of Apple’s personal native apps, quite than Android.
Maybe the arrival of Google Calendar for watchOS is a sign that Google Hold will quickly return in a brand new and improved type – maybe to coincide with the rollout of watchOS 26 later within the yr – however we’re not going to be holding our breath.
