Google Confirms Androidify Watch Faces Coming to Wear OS

The feature depends on Wear OS 6’s Watch Face Push API with rollout not active in the current app build.

Overview

  • Android Authority found a hidden watch button in Androidify 1.2.1 that initiates an install and send‑to‑watch flow from the Customize and Export page.
  • Mishaal Rahman reports the implementation uses the new Watch Face Push API, establishing Wear OS 6 as the minimum requirement.
  • Google has told outlets the watch‑face option is planned, though it is not live in version 1.2.1 and no launch timeline has been provided.
  • Play Store screenshots show several Androidify watch face designs and hint at a dedicated Wear OS app under development.
  • Early tests showed successful installation on a Galaxy Watch 8 Classic but failure on a OnePlus Watch 2R, and the on‑watch flow requests permission to change the active watch face.
