- Google Calendar finally has a native app for Watchos
- However, Google has also just pulled Google Keep for Apple Watch
- There are now only three Google -Apps for Watchos
It’s reasonable to say that the Google App Support for Apple Watch is not the most comprehensive, so the arrival of a new Google Calendar -app for Apple Wearables would usually be something to celebrate -only the Google Keep app has disappeared at the same time.
The arrival of Google Calendar was discovered by the team of 9to5Google. It’s a pretty basic app, but it does the job: You get a week’s value of events plus current Google tasks and the color coding is transferred from the main app.
You cannot create new events or reminders from Apple Watch, but there are two complications available to show the next deal and the current date. In fact, it seems to be almost an exact match for Google Calendar on Wear OS.
The news of Google continues to be drawn from Watchos was also reported by 9TO5GOOGLE. It takes the number of official Google apps on Apple Watch back to three – with Google Maps and YouTube Music the other two.
Users are losing again
It’s disappointing to see that Google Keep is no longer available to Apple Watch because it’s just the kind of app you want to-a-glance access to. It might not be a surprise: The Watchos version of the app had not been updated for years.
And it’s a shame that Google is so reluctant to put its apps on Apple’s laptops. It would undoubtedly have people with Android and Wear OS, but Google’s apps for iPhone are some of the best in the industry and are constantly updated.
This means that millions of users with an iPhone and an Apple Watch miss out when it comes to getting their Google App -Info on their wrists. It’s more likely to push the masses against Apple’s own native apps rather than Android.
Maybe the arrival of Google Calendar to Watchos is an indication that Google Keep will soon return in a new and improved form – perhaps to coincide with the roll -out of Watchos 26 later in the year – but we will not hold our breath.
