One of Google’s most important decisions for Android was to separate key feature updates from new firmware — you don’t have to suffer through months of delays from your manufacturer and carrier just to get a new messaging app or a vital behind-the-scenes service. And now, that’s true for Android Wear as well. Google’s Hoi Lam has\u00a0confirmed<\/a>\u00a0that\u00a0Android Wear 2.0<\/a>\u00a0can receive some updates through the Play Store, rather than waiting for monolithic firmware upgrades. An update this past week is proof positive: 2.0-equipped watches got support for third-party chat apps in contacts and fewer accidental launches for the watch face picker.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It’s good news if you’ve had a rough experience with Android Wear updates in the past and would rather not wonder if you’ll get features in a reasonable timeframe. It might also ease your mind if you were worried that Google’s decision to\u00a0pull Android Wear devices from its store<\/a>\u00a0might be representative of a retreat from Android Wear as a whole. It’s not clear how often Google expects to patch its wearable platform, but it’s safe to say that improvements will arrive at a faster pace than they have in the past.<\/p>\n
