Adventures.

Users take virtual walks around the world when they go for a walk.

Open Groups.

The Verge reports that some groups have millions of members, and after March 27, Fitbit users will still be able to create closed private groups.

The Wear OS 3 smartwatch ushers in a new weather app that is very simple and only shows the weather at the wearer’s current location. It will show weather information from weather.com, UV index, precipitation, and forecasts for the next 8 hours and the next 5 days.

Google’s Phone app has also been added to the Wear OS Play Store to make updates to the app easier and more frequent. the Phone app on Wear OS makes phone calls possible, either through Bluetooth or through LTE-connected smartwatches on a standalone basis. The Phone app UI has larger icons and larger text for better visibility of the caller’s name.

Finally, the Fitbit app for Android has been updated with a new user interface. There are now three main tabs available: Discover, Today, and Community, and the “Advanced” tab from the previous version has been removed. the Play Store listing also includes some screenshots of Wear OS.
