Google Play Services update turns on Pixel Watch Express Pay and refreshes Play Shorts

Credit: Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google’s July 27 Play Services update lets Pixel Watch owners set up Express Pay directly on the watch, with smoother onboarding for new users. The “Connected apps” menu is now called “Linked apps” across phones, tablets, TVs, cars, and watches. Play Shorts adds comic previews you can swipe through, and Play Store v52.5 also brings a steadier Sidekick Dashboard as well as resumable travel searches.
