Google is bringing some new features we’re more than happy to welcome to its Wear OS platform. The new “H update,” as the company calls it, is bringing important things like a new Battery Saver Mode, which will kick in automatically when it falls below 10 percent. Your Wear OS smartwatch will also fall into “deep sleep” if it hasn’t been worn for 30 minutes. There’s also a new “Smart App Resume” feature that will keep your place in Watch Apps if you leave them and then decide to come back. And there will also be a new two-step power off so you don’t have to dig through the power menu in the settings.

Wear OS team says the update will be rolling out to users over the coming months but cautions that some wearables might not be immediately eligible for the update. The smartwatch manufacturers will determine when to roll this out and functionality may vary by device.
