How it works:

*At least A Wear OS 2.0 watch device, and an Android Phone/Tablet with internet access and Android 6.0 Marshmallow are required to use this app. You must download this app on both devices to use its functionality. This is to preserve watch battery as most processing is done on your main device.

* Default app language is English, and it uses machine translation to also render the app in Arabic, Hindi, Korean, Polish, Turkish, Vietnamese, German, Spanish, French, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Thai, and Chinese, Portuguese.

* Wear News, itself, does not publish any content that you may see within the app. It functions as an aggregator of public news and social sources. Relevant contact information for the individual publishers that you access within this app are generally available upon viewing their articles, via A tap at the article headline on your Wear OS device.
