Every year at MWC, Google announces a bunch of new features across the Android ecosystem. This year was no different, of course, with apps like Fitbit, Google Docs, Google Maps, and Google Messages seeing new updates. There were also some improvements to the Maps and Wallet apps on Wear OS, but perhaps the most consequential Wear OS-related announcement didn’t come until a few hours after Google made its Android news public. Google debuted a new “hybrid OS interface” for Wear OS that dramatically improves battery life, and it’s already shipping on the new OnePlus Watch 2.
