- Some Wear OS devices are showing notifications from Private Space apps when they are supposed to be isolated to the user’s phone.
- Google is aware of the issue.
- No timeline has been given for a potential fix.
Android 15’s Private Space feature hasn’t exactly had the smoothest of rollouts. There were earlier reports of the feature causing some Pixel 6 devices to brick. Most recently, however, people have seen notifications from Private Space apps appear on their Wear OS smartwatch. Google has now acknowledged the issue.
The new Private Space feature allows a user to hide their sensitive apps from prying eyes, almost like a secret vault. These apps are siloed off so the data is isolated away from the rest of your phone. Since the feature is designed to be quite literally a private space, you’re not supposed to see notifications from Private Space apps anywhere other than on your phone.
