How to update Samsung Galaxy Watch’s apps through your phone?
While system updates can sometimes be important for privacy and security, app updates are usually more about bringing new features and cleaning up software bugs. Occasional updates are a good idea to enjoy each app to the fullest.
But can you download app updates only on your smartphone? No, you can do it on your smartwatch as well. Samsung Galaxy Watches, especially the Galaxy Watch 4 are compatible to download a lot of applications so you can easily use them for different purposes without even picking up your phone from your pocket.

Therefore, keeping upgraded with the latest version of an app is a must. The Galaxy Store doesn’t just update phone apps. It can even update the apps on your smartwatch. You can update the watch’s app using the connected phone or on the watch itself if it was set up without a phone.

Only the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 series runs WearOS 3, where the company has made a lot of changes, whether it’s related to the watch’s software update or their app updates. There’s a lot of difference between updating the old Galaxy Watch apps and the Galaxy Watch 4 apps. Here, in this article, I’m going to show you both.
