October 2024 is going on and Samsung has pushed a new software update for its Galaxy Buds 3 and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro. This update makes the earbuds even better by improving stability and sound quality.
The fresh update enhances Bluetooth connection stability by addressing common issues that users may have encountered. In addition, the update also brings improvements in sound quality to provide a more immersive audio experience.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro users are getting the October 2024 security update with firmware versions R530XXU0AXJ1 and R630XXU0AXJ respectively. It is available with an installation package size of 7.15MB.

Users of the Galaxy Buds 3 series are encouraged to take advantage of this update to enjoy enhanced functions. The update will help ensure that you have the best possible experience with your Galaxy Buds.

Your Samsung Galaxy Watch could soon get standalone RCS support. Google is preparing to roll out standalone RCS to Wear OS smartwatches with a future Messages app update. Galaxy Watch users will also benefit alongside Pixel Watch users.
EU forced Apple to adopt the RCS messaging standard in its iOS. The decision brought rich communication standard features into the limelight. Now, Google is working to enhance RCS usability on its Wear OS platform.
AndroidAuthority discovered some flags within Google Messages v20240926, suggesting standalone RCS arrival on Wear OS. The addition of new flags suggests that the company is preparing to roll out independent RCS support.
At present Wear OS doesn’t support native RCS messaging on watches. You need to keep your watch paired to the smartphone to send and receive messages. An updated Google Messages version would address the support concern.
Google Messages on Wear OS indeed has a relatively smaller user base than Android. Since smartwatches have small screens, users refrain from typing longer text while replying, still, it’s a welcome move slated to end lack of support.
The move is to make Google Messages function the same as WhatsApp. The latter is available as a native application on Wear OS, whereas Google Messages on Wear OS essentially mirrors the Google Messages app on your phone.
