⌚️ The 1st and 2nd gen Pixel Watches are getting the Wear OS 5 update along with a September security patch.

Wear OS 5 is based on Android 14 and brings numerous bug fixes, performance improvements and new features such as:

• A new Privacy dashboard under Settings > Apps & Notifications, which offers users a centralized view of how each app accesses data like location and microphone.
• New Watch Face Format, which adds preset configurations called Flavors, weather conditions, a heart rate system data source, and two new types of complications: Goal progress and Weighted Elements (Useful for displaying discrete subsets of data).
• Option to enable grid app menu.
• Ability to select a media output device directly from the watch.
• Apps will be able to detect when a user takes a screenshot (part of Android 14).

You also get more detailed running metrics with the Health Services update:

• Ground contact time: The amount of time, during a single step, that a runner's foot is in contact with the ground.
• Stride length: The distance covered by a single step.
• Vertical oscillation: The distance that a user's center of mass moves up and down with each step.
• Vertical ratio: Vertical oscillation divided by stride length.
• Debounced goals: improves the user experience for people who want to maintain a specific threshold or range—such as heart rate—throughout their workout.

You'll also get improved camera controls (Google Camera app update) and the ability to install the new Pixel Recorder app for Wear OS, which is only available for v.5.0.

To speed up getting the update, put the watch on charge, open the Settings/System/System Update page, and tap the watch icon at the top several times in a row.

Bluetooth resolved issues
• Made AIDL changes to support LE Audio multi-codec, including extensions for vendor codecs.
• Fixed a bug of ScanRecord.getManufacturerSpecificData() to return merged multiple Manufacturer Specific Data instead of only returning the first Manufacturer Specific Data.
• Fixed an issue where the phone gets stuck in an incorrect state when the remote device does RFCOMM Disconnection during Codec Negotiation while the phone is already having an active connection with a different device.
• Fixed an issue where subsequent connection attempts failed locally after an outgoing HFP connection attempt was discarded.
• Fixed an issue where the first paired device lost audio focus when a second device was paired and reconnected.
• Fixed an issue where some headsets couldn't pair using Fast Pair due to a race condition where the Bluetooth stack incorrectly treats a LE-ACL disconnection during classic pairing as a pairing failure.

Android 16 may get a revamped quick settings and notifications panel.

The current design of the panel, which combines notifications and quick settings, hasn't changed much since it was introduced in Android 12. However, Mishaal Rahman (via Android Authority) revealed that Google is working on a redesign of the panel that will separate notifications from quick settings.

The notifications panel will still be accessible with a normal swipe from the statusbar, but now it will no longer take up the entire screen and you will be able to see the app you were in as it was before Android 12. A repeated swipe no longer opens quick settings.

And to open the quick settings panel, you have to swipe with two fingers, which most users probably won't like.

The design is still raw, to say the least, and may undergo significant changes in the final version, but it's clear that Google is considering a major overhaul of the notification panel and quick settings, which will likely be added in Android 16.
