Google Brings Find Hub to Wear OS With On-Wrist Device Controls

Watches now show a signed-in device list with on-wrist management, with UWB precision finding still absent.

Overview

  • The Wear OS app presents a My devices list tied to a user's Google Account with last-seen time and current battery level.
  • Device pages offer Play sound, Secure device, Get directions, and Factory reset, plus a refresh control.
  • A map view can open Google Maps on the watch to provide directions in multiple modes.
  • Installation is available via the on-watch Play Store or by selecting Install on more devices from a phone.
  • Find Hub appears before the existing Find my phone shortcut in the watch app grid, and Google is rolling out a small phone app update.
