Google seems not to be giving up on their Android wear program designed exclusively for wearables like Smartwatches. It is including a beta feature that allows folks to play around with upcoming features.
For now, the beta program is very limited that considering that it’s currently supporting the LG Watch Sport alone. From a consumer standpoint, this might not amount to much, since we’re still talking about the Android Wear 2.0 interface. In other words, the main features still include standalone apps, complications, Google Assistant, and mobile payments, among others.
The beta program currently upgrades the API level to API 26, which gives the beta access to notification channels and background limits. This comes really handy for those who rely on apps that have their own notifications rather than just forward the ones displayed on your phone, while the latter makes sure that doesn’t rapidly drain your battery in the background.
