The Galaxy Watch series stands out as one of the most comprehensive wearable options for monitoring health metrics. Additionally, they provide an exceptionally refined interface for their users. Nonetheless, certain aspects like accessibility to applications remain less than ideal. It appears that Samsung acknowledges these limitations and is currently working on a “Shortcuts” application slated for inclusion in the forthcoming One UI 8 Watch upgrade.
The latest application has been identified by the team at Android Authority as version 1.0.00.18. This program, titled “Shortcuts,” serves exactly what its title implies. Essentially, this allows you to establish convenient shortcuts directly onto your smartwatch’s main interface for easy access to your various applications.
The One UI 8 for watches will allow you to place app shortcuts on your main screen.
Envision being able to dive directly into your favorite fitness app or messaging platform without sifting through the app drawer each time. Sounds appealing, doesn’t it? According to the leak, you’ll have the option to include these app shortcuts in two distinct tile dimensions: a compact size (2×1) and a bigger size (2×2). This offers some versatility for arranging your smartwatch’s main display. You can check out below how these shortcuts would appear in both configurations.
These application shortcuts easily accessible on the watch face might significantly improve usability. There will be no need to sift through various menu options to locate the desired app. This adjustment appears to bridge the gap between the smartwatch interface and the convenient accessibility found on smartphones, where frequently used applications are typically only a touch away from the main screen. Though seemingly minor, this alteration has the potential to greatly enhance everyday usage.
As reported earlier, Samsung plans to release a feature this year enabling your Galaxy Watch to assess the quality of your diet and provide tailored recommendations.
