Here’s how to solve the Galaxy Wearable app crashing issue in 2024
If you are a Samsung user who has a Galaxy Watch or Buds, you might have encountered a problem with the Galaxy Wearable app. The app has been crashing or not launching since the start of 2024. This frustrating issue prevents you from using your watch or buds properly.
Until Samsung and Google fix this issue, there are two possible solutions you can try given below.
Solution 1:
The first solution is to change the date on your watch to December 31, 2023. This might work to fix the bug that is caused by the date change.
To do this, you just need to go to Settings >> General management >> Date and time option on your watch and disable automatic date and time. Set the date manually to December 31, 2023. After that, open the app on your phone and see if it works. If it does, change the date back to the correct one.
Solution 2:
The second solution is to reinstall the app and reset your watch. This will erase your settings and data on your watch, so make sure you have a backup.
To do this, reset your watch by going to Settings >> General Management >> Reset. Uninstall the Galaxy Wearable app and all the associated apps on your phone.
Now, unpair your watch from your phone by going to Settings >> Connections >> Bluetooth. Now, tap on the gear icon next to your watch name and choose Unpair.
Restart your phone and reinstall the app from the Play Store or the Galaxy Store. Connect your watch to your phone again.
Update:
You can check for updates for the app by opening the Galaxy Store app on your phone >> clicking on the Menu option >> Updates.

Samsung Galaxy users have reported a playback issue with video editing using the Gallery app after installing the One UI 6.1 update on their devices. It’s causing inconvenience for Galaxy users and disrupting the usability of edited videos on their devices.
The Korean Tech giant is aware of the playback issue with Samsung Gallery videos on One UI 6.1 devices and is planning to release a software update to fix it. Additionally, a company moderator has provided the reason behind its occurrence.
He has mentioned that the issue specifically occurs when videos shot with the ‘Auto FPS’ feature enabled in the Camera app may stutter or cut out during playback after editing.
To resolve this problem, Samsung recommends disabling the ‘Auto FPS’ feature in your Camera settings. This ensures that videos shot without the ‘Auto FPS’ setting will play smoothly even after being edited in the Gallery app.
To deactivate this feature, you just need to open the Camera app >> tap the settings icon located at the top left corner of the screen >> inside the settings menu, find the ‘Auto FPS’ option >> switch it to ‘Off’.
Samsung is also planning to release a fix with a new software update. Users are encouraged to install this update promptly when prompted on their devices.
You can check the update by going to the Settings app on your Galaxy device >> Scrolling down and selecting ‘Software Update >> Tapping the ‘Download and Install’ option.
By following these steps, Galaxy users can ensure a smoother experience when editing and playing back videos on their devices.
Are you experiencing issues with Bixby on your Samsung Galaxy device? If yes, you are not alone, as several Galaxy users have reported issues with Bixby such as it responding briefly and then ending immediately. This issue could be due to outdated software and its related language pack.

The moderator suggests keeping both the Bixby app and its voice recognition language pack updated for smooth operation and error-free performance. If you are using an older version of Bixby, update it immediately to version 3.3.54.0 or later to address various issues.
