If you use the Find Hub app on your Android smartphone to track things you may have misplaced, you can now also use your smartwatch to do the same thing if it happens to be easier and/or more convenient. The Find Hub app is a crucial tool for anyone who uses Android-compatible smart tracking tags to keep an eye on their stuff. However, it’s not always convenient to pull your phone out of your pocket and launch the app to locate something that’s gone missing. Maybe the phone is in your pocket, and you just don’t feel like reaching in to grab it. Maybe your phone is tucked away in your bag or luggage, and it’s a pain to get to. Whatever the reason, gone are the days when your phone is the only way to access this app.
The Find Hub app has launched for Wear OS smartwatches. According to Assembledebug on X (via Android Police), the app has started to show up on the Wear OS version of the Play Store. It may not be available for everyone, however.
The Find Hub app on Wear OS might be limited to Pixel Watches for now
Getting the Find Hub app on Wear OS is certainly useful, but it’s only useful to the people who have access to it. Which, at this point in time, seems to be the owners of compatible Pixel Watch models. This is probably limited to just the Pixel Watch 2, Pixel Watch 3, and Pixel Watch 4, as they all have Wear OS 6, and Wear OS 6 might be a requirement.
That being said, if Wear OS 6 is the only true requirement, it should be coming to other watches. That would make it a possible install for Galaxy Watch 8 users, as well as any other Galaxy Watch model getting the Wear OS 6 update. However, it’s not clear when it will show up natively. It’s reported that you can sideload the app onto your watch, though. Additionally, Wear OS 6 watches might be the only watches to get it natively for now, but it doesn’t seem to be a requirement for the app to function. According to Android Authority, the app can be sideloaded, and they were able to get it running on a OnePlus Watch 2R, which doesn’t have the Wear OS 6 update.
