If you’ve got a Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 or Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, check for available software updates.
If you own a Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 or a Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, we’d recommend checking for a software upgrade at your earliest opportunity, as a fairly significant new update is now rolling out to the wearables. As Samsung notes (via 9to5Google), the updated software brings with it a variety of new watch faces – including ones with augmented reality and GIF capabilities – so you’ll get more options when it comes to giving your smartwatch a new look. There’s also better « measurement accuracy » when it comes to heart rate monitoring, which is something that both the Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic can do. The data that the smartwatches log should now be more reliable than ever. We’ve got other improvements too: the fall detection feature, which can alert your emergency contacts if you have a tumble, now comes with a sensitivity option, so you can adjust the level of movement that triggers it in the future.
