Live Updates is one of the most talked-about features in Android 16. Finally, Android users will be able to track real-time progress of activities from delivery, rideshare, and navigation apps on their home screens. It’s a feature iPhone users have enjoyed for a while now, but Android’s implementation already seems better from what we’ve seen so far. Yesterday, we told you that Android’s Live Updates won’t be limited to Pixel phones and are coming to more supported Android handsets. Well, as it turns out, the feature is traversing form factors and is also headed for your wrists.
