Wear OS 7 is getting ‘Wear Widgets,’ but Tiles aren’t going away just yet

Credit:

• Google has introduced new “Wear Widgets” in Wear OS 7 as part of a broader push to unify widgets across Android devices.
• The new widgets appear to be the long-term successor to Wear OS Tiles, though Google says Tiles will continue to be supported for now.
• Some Reddit users aren’t thrilled with the change, arguing that rectangular widgets squeezed into round watch displays look worse than the current full-screen Tiles.

Google has officially introduced Wear Widgets with Wear OS 7, and while the company isn’t outright killing Tiles yet, the writing is clearly on the wall.
