- Samsung is adding a new app to One UI 8 Watch, called Shortcuts.
- An Android Authority teardown has revealed that this will let you add app shortcuts to your watch’s home screen.
- Apps can be added to your wearable’s home screen in 2×1 and 2×2 tiles.
Samsung is expected to launch the One UI 8 Watch update later this year, bringing new features and tweaks to its Galaxy Watch line. Now, it looks like the company is working on a more convenient way to open apps on your wrist.
