Google's Wear OS platform has been successful since its launch in 2015. The platform was designed to bring many features to busy, professional users: apps, games, messages, and more.

Experience Comprehensive Web Browsing on Wear OS Devices with Samsung Internet

According to the story by Giz China, one feature that has been absent until recently is the web browser. Until recently, if users of Wear OS wanted to access the web on their watches, they had to rely on third-party apps or search engines.

This changed when Samsung Internet returned to the Wear OS platform. Now, users can download their app from the Play Store, offering a comprehensive web browsing solution on their Wear OS devices.

Samsung Internet offers users many helpful features, starting with a QWERTY touchscreen keyboard for easy text entry. It also includes a few pre-defined bookmarks to well-known websites such as Google, Samsung, and YouTube for quick navigation.

Additionally, users can easily import their bookmarks from their phone by selecting the "Import phone bookmarks" toggle from the main Samsung Internet screen's scroll-down menu. Moreover, the Google Search engine and a full on-screen QWERTY keyboard can access any website or text.

The most convenient feature is importing bookmarks from Samsung mobile devices.
