Google Pay on your Wear OS watch will speed up, if you're on Android
Ever find yourself waiting at the checkout for your mobile payment apps to start up? Google Pay is about to get much quicker on your Wear OS watch, which should stop people tutting behind you in the supermarket queue.
Alongside the launch of a new Android P beta release, a new update is coming to the Wear OS app for Android that will change the way Google Pay works.
It's a feature called quick-starting Google Pay, but the company has yet to reveal how exactly that's set to work. We think it may be the connection tech between your phone and your watch which could be quicker, but there's no clear methodology for the update.
On its way
The update began rolling out to Android devices on July 25, so if you head to the Google Play Store now you should be able to find the update for the Wear OS app. There's been no update issued for the Wear OS app on iPhone, but we wouldn't be surprised if it arrives there in the future.
This new upgrade has also brought a minor fix for a time zone bug as well as enhancing the design tweaks Google brought in through an earlier update.
It called its UI 'more glanceable', so you may find your watch's display a touch easier to read when you download the update.
