Manage tiles or widgets on your Samsung smartwatch

Did you know you can access your watch's features with just a flick of your finger? You can use the widgets on your smart watch or fitness band, which are shortcuts to your favorite apps. For example, they can give you weather updates without having to open the Weather app. If you are using the Galaxy Watch4 or Galaxy Watch4 Classic, the widgets are known as "tiles." Just swipe left from the Home screen to see what is happening with your widgets or tiles.

Note: Information provided applies to devices sold in Canada. Available screens and settings may vary for smartwatches sold in other countries. Some watch models can only manage widgets through the Galaxy Wearable app, available on the Play Store for Android devices or the App Store for iOS devices.

Note: You must use the Galaxy Wearable app to manage widgets on a Galaxy Fit or Galaxy Fit2.

Do you want a faster way to access one of your favorite features on your watch? Just add a widget or tile for it if one is available.
