Wear OS 7 is getting ‘Wear Widgets,’ but Tiles aren’t going away just yet

Credit: Android Developers Blog TL;DR Google has introduced new “Wear Widgets” in Wear OS 7 as part of a broader push to unify widgets across Android devices. The new widgets appear to be the long-term successor to Wear OS Tiles, though Google says Tiles will continue to be supported for now. Some Reddit users aren’t thrilled with the change, arguing that rectangular widgets squeezed into round watch displays look worse than the current full-screen Tiles.
