Google announces Fast Pair support for Wear OS devices – Times of India

Google has revealed that its Fast Pair functionality will now be available on Wear OS devices, as it updated its changelog for the June 2022 Google System Updates. According to a report by Android Police, Google has described that Fast Pair on Wear OS will now allow “previously paired headphones to be discovered and connected to wearables.” Wear OS smartwatch users will now be able to see all the paired Bluetooth earbuds on their Google account due to the Fast Pair support. However, the tech giant has not clarified whether the “proprietary standard” will be included in all Wear OS devices or just the newer ones that run on the latest WearOS 3.
What is Fast Pair
Fast Pair is a proprietary standard developed by Google that helps users in connecting their Bluetooth devices to their phones even more quickly. This technology was first introduced for devices running Android 6.0+ in 2017 and faced a slow industry adoption, mentions the report. However, swift improvements and wider-device compatibility have helped the feature to make a comeback over the last few years.
