Google’s new Androidify app has just made the transition to Wear OS, and you can now use it to create custom watch faces for your smartwatch. The newly launched app, which launched earlier this year, uses Google’s Gemini and Imagen to turn your photos into personalized Bugdroid avatars. With the latest update, you can now view these custom Android bots on your wrist.
Previously, the Androidify app allowed you to use your custom bots as a wallpaper, social media avatar, or sticker. Now you can also transfer these bots from your phone to your Wear OS watch as a personalized watch face.
Setting up these watch faces is pretty easy. Google explains that the Androidify app now offers an option to send to your watch once you’ve created a bot using a selfie or text prompt. You can choose from several different watch face templates and the app will generate a version with your bot and push it straight to your smartwatch.
Powered by Watch Face Push API
In a separate post, Google revealed that the Androidify app uses the new Watch Face Push API for this new functionality. The post goes into detail about how the app creates, packages, installs, and applies the watch faces. It also encourages developers to use this new API to improve their Watchface apps and provide users with a more seamless experience.
You can try out the custom watch faces on your smartwatch by downloading the latest version of the Androidify app from the Play Store. The Watch Face feature currently appears to be limited to Wear OS 6 watches, but Google may expand support to devices running an older version of the platform at a later date.
