Google is rolling out a new update to the Pixel Watch. It focuses on the camera app on the smartwatch. The latest update arrives after the December update that brought DND and Bedtime modes. It has been spotted by the folks at 9to5Google. The update to the camera app on the Pixel Watch brings several features apart from the basic ones that were previously present.
Google Pixel Watch’s camera app gets a significant update
Prior to the latest update, the Google Pixel Watch offered basic features including a photo mode, zoom slider, three-second timer, and the ability to switch between front and rear cameras.
Now, the Pixel Watch’s camera app is gaining more capabilities. Users can switch between camera modes – Night Sight and Portrait while clicking pictures. Additionally, mode switching ability is also while recording videos. These include standard, slow-motion, time-lapse, or portrait blur video. Before this update, users had to choose different modes in their Pixel phone’s camera app. Hence, the new features on the smartwatch eliminate the inconvenience of reaching the smartphone.
Additionally, the timer functionality also gets a new option. In addition to the existing 3-second timer, the latest update now offers a 10-second timer duration.
9to5Google adds that the main list is now called Settings and the camera switcher is now a menu instead of previously just been a single tap to change between them. Ensure that the camera app on your Pixel Watch is up to date if you don’t see the new features yet. The latest build can be checked from the Play Store. Additionally, it’s worth noting that users may not see the features if the Pixel Watch is paired with non-Pixel phones.
