Wear OS gets new interface for Play Store: inspired by Tizen

Google is rolling out a new update for the Play Store app for Wear OS on the smartwatch. That application will now be provided with improvements, with a new interface, which is inspired by Samsung’s Tizen.

New Play Store interface on Wear OS

If you have a smartwatch with Wear OS, you will soon be able to see the new interface of the Play Store app. On Reddit, a user reports that Google has changed the interface of the Play Store app on the smartwatch. Several parts stand out that have been addressed by Google.

Samsung previously presented One UI Watch, the successor to Tizen on the smartwatch. The new One UI Watch has been worked on together with Google. The first signs of this can be seen in the interface of the Google Play Store app. Where we now see the options in white text on a black background, this will be adjusted to oval bars. The green buttons to open an app, for example, are also gone. This is replaced by a white bar with a large option. The clock is also digitally displayed at the top.

The update seems to be triggered on the server side.
