TL;DR
- Google has confirmed that it’s officially renaming Wear OS Tiles to “Wear Widgets” as part of a broader push to unify widgets across Android devices.
- In a new developer session, Google showcased the new Wear Widgets with updated layouts, richer animations, better battery life, and easier cross-device development.
- Google also shared more details about new Android Auto widgets launching later this year.
Google already confirmed that Wear OS 7 will introduce a new widget system for smartwatches, but during a developer session at I/O 2026, the company shared a much closer look at how these widgets will actually work, what they’ll look like on watches, and which apps will support them first.
