Since then, everything has been pretty quiet when it comes to Wear OS, at least more than we might have expected, given that not many companies have adopted the new system as we thought (and as Google would have preferred). Whatever the case, we don’t think Google will forget its software; We hope to announce new features during Google IO 2022, which will make the system more attractive to other manufacturers.
