Samsung wants iPhone users don’t buy Galaxy Watch, but why?

Powered by Wear OS, the latest Samsung smartwatches are equipped with a number of notable features and health-tracking tools. Meanwhile, Samsung doesn’t want Apple iPhone users to buy Galaxy Watch, as it dropped support for iOS devices.

The company’s smartwatches that run Tizen OS can be paired with Apple iPhones. With Galaxy Watch 4, Samsung dropped support for iOS of the iPhone as it could not be able to deliver the same level of experience. This statement has given by a Samsung official during the Galaxy Unpacked event.

In an interview with TechRadar, Samsung’s Director of Global Product Planning, Junho Park, elaborated on the matter:

“The goal is: how can we provide the best experience to our customers? We found that some of the heavy limitations [users experienced when using a Galaxy Watch with iOS] were not driven by the Watch [itself], by the core product.”

The executive further added that some of the limitations of the Samsung Galaxy Watch are driven ‘not by the Watch itself’, but while you can use the Galaxy Watch series with any one of the best Android phones, many of its abilities are locked unless you’re using the Samsung Health app.

“So we thought, ‘Hey, there is still a lot of disconnection [between these two systems].’ That was one of the reasons we dropped [iOS support on Galaxy Watches] – we could not deliver the same level of experience with Android and iOS.”

Samsung’s Wear OS watches could soon get standalone RCS support

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.
