Google Assistant update causes battery and connection problems on Galaxy Watch 4 devices

Using the Tizen operating system in its smart watches for years, Samsung switched to Wear OS 3.0 with the Galaxy Watch 4 series last year. Although the Galaxy Watch 4 series was highly appreciated, the lack of Google Assistant support was felt. The update, which was delayed for months, was released last week, but it seems that the update brought many problems with it.

Google Assistant brings many problems

Many users on Reddit state that many problems have arisen after the Google Assistant update on their Galaxy Watch 4 devices. It seems that Google Assistant causes serious battery usage and shortens the life of the device. Another problem is the connection problems that many users complain about. Users state that after the update, their devices cannot connect to their smartphones, and there are problems even with re-pairing. For now, the only solution to connection problems seems to be restoring the device to factory settings.

Users , apart from device problems also complain about Google Assistant. It seems that Google Assistant doesn’t wake up with the “Ok, Google” command most of the time. It is also stated that Google Assistant is quite slow, like on older Wear OS devices. Let’s see if Google or Samsung will take a step in this regard.
