Currently, the news They do not stop happening, and it is that the impulse obtained by the arrival on this platform of Samsung watches -which are among the best that exist in the market- is very remarkable. Well, it has been known that one of the great demands of users for Wear OS will finally have an answer. We talked about the possibility of Backups of the operating system and everything around it.

The truth is that this is something that is not very well understood that it does not exist for smartwatches that use the Google operating system, such as those of Samsung or OPPO. We are talking about a function that has a lot positive and it does not demand a large investment in the development to be carried out to achieve it (especially taking into account all the services that Google has in the market to provide support).
The fact is that from the source of the information it is indicated that in the code of Google Play (platform that is currently used for many of the options offered by Wear OS, such as updates), it has been detected that the signature of Mountain View already has prepared the possibility of make a security copy development.
