While Samsung's latest Wear OS smartwatches, the Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, launched with One UI Watch 4.5 based on Wear OS 3.5, the older Galaxy Watch 4 series is yet to receive the update. Samsung has been testing the update for a while now and has released five beta builds so far, giving users a chance to experience the new QWERTY keyboard, accessibility features, and more ahead of the stable rollout. The fifth One UI Watch 4.5 beta update rolled out to the Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic late last month, bringing several bug fixes and improvements. Now, Samsung is rolling out another bug fix update on the beta channel.
The sixth One UI Watch 4.5 beta update for the Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic addresses several issues on both the Bluetooth and LTE variants of the Wear OS smartwatches. According to the changelog shared on Samsung's community forums (via Reddit), the update brings the following changes:
