Samsung Gear S2 software update comes with new features

We have probably heard or seen lots of Android wear devices but the Samsung Gear S2 is nothing like any other, the watch stands out among all android wear devices anywhere in the world. Now a new software update has just made it better

A lot of the watch’s uniqueness stems from the custom Tizen OS that powers it and the vast level of customization and broad feature integration the South Korean giant company has managed to achieve.

Its build number is R732XXU2BOKF but it doesn’t come with an official changelog. Here are some few changes we could notice from the new software update

• When you scroll right on the watchfaces menu there’s an option to “Add template” now. It then lets you choose from the watchfaces that can be stylized and make a new face from them.
• On a notification, when you swipe up to dismiss, it now shows a trash can.
• It now says “add widget” under the + symbol when you scroll all the way right.
• For a notification reply, the emoji symbol has been replaced with a more traditional circle happy face.
• Also in the settings under “connections” there’s an alert option now to be notified via vibration when disconnected from your phone.
• There is an “Auto open apps” option, which means apps will open when you stop rotating the ring on them.
• Also in the settings under “connections” there’s an alert option now to be notified via vibration when disconnected from your phone.
• New apps added: a world clock, starbucks, a korean navigation app, and the flipboard news briefing app. There’s also a few watchfaces added, nothing new, same ones shown at the initial unveiling. All of them can be uninstalled.
• Under the display setting there’s now a screen timeout option. 15 secs, 30 secs, 1 min, or 5 minutes.
• There’s a notification indicator option now also in display. It will make a little orange circle appear on your watchface until you’ve viewed the notification. Only works if you don’t have notifications set to automatically turn on your screen in the Gear Android app.
• When reading the text of a notification, it will make the font larger if you double tap the screen.
