Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 5 series are among the most popular Wear OS smartwatches for Android users. They are feature-rich and have aged very well, with new features continuously added to them. Following up on the announcement of WhatsApp coming to Wear OS, Samsung has announced that the new Samsung Wallet app and the Thermo Check app are also coming to these Galaxy watches. And through sneaky wording, the company has also confirmed that the Galaxy Watch 6 series will also support temperature measurement.
First things first, Samsung announced that Samsung Wallet is coming to both Galaxy Watch 4 series and Galaxy Watch 5 series. Samsung Wallet combines Samsung Pay with Samsung Pass. It not only allows you to make payments through your saved cards but also holds key information such as IDs and tickets. The functionality works well on Samsung Galaxy phones, and the same can now be done on watches as well, presuming you are paired with a Samsung Galaxy phone.
