American tech giant Google recently released the YouTube Music streaming service on its WearOS platform.
As per ANI, Google released a WearOS app for YouTube Music, which could seem like welcome news for people who have been waiting for a way to play their music off on Google’s streaming service after the company shut down Google Play Music on Wear OS in August 2020.
However, the new app comes with a few caveats. The biggest catch is that the new app only works on one of Samsung’s two new watches powered by Wear OS 3, according to Google.
These watches won’t be available until August 27, so even if the user wants to try the new app right now, they won’t be able to unless they have a Galaxy Watch 4 or a Galaxy Watch 4 Classic.
If the user is lucky enough to have one of the new watches, the YouTube Music Wear OS will let YouTube Premium subscribers will download the music right to their watch, which means that the user can listen to tunes with just a watch and a pair of Bluetooth headphones, even when they don’t have an internet connection.
However, it sounds like there might be some frustrating caveats they’ll have to keep in mind when they’re using to Wear OS YouTube Music app.
