How to Pair Android Wearables With the iPhone
Follow these steps to connect a smartwatch with an iPhone: As long as the Wear app is open on your iPhone, your iPhone and Android watch should remain connected when nearby. If you close the app, you lose the connection (this isn’t the case with Android smartphones).
What You Can Do With Wear for iOS
You should now see all of your iPhone notifications on your Android watch, including messages, calendar reminders, and any other apps that ping you throughout the day. You can use the Google Assistant to search, set reminders, and conduct other tasks, though there are some limitations with Apple apps. For instance, you can’t search for music inside Apple Music as you can with Siri. You also can’t reply to text messages, but you can respond to Gmail messages using voice commands. If you’re an iPhone owner who uses a lot of Google apps, you have the best experience since Apple isn’t making any Wear-compatible apps. On the upside, Android smartwatches are much less expensive than the Apple Watch. The downside is you run into limitations when pairing devices from different ecosystems.
Wear and iOS Compatibility
Google has a website where you check to see if your phone works with Wear. On your iPhone, open a web browser and visit the WearCheck website. Newer iPhones can pair with some of the best smartwatches including the Moto 360 2 and models from Fossil, Huawei, Movado, Tag Hauer, and more.
