Google appeared for Wear OS in 2023, and other formats were acceptable. However, as of January 14, 2026, WFF will be mandatory and the only thing the watch will support, so that the support of the dials will gradually be curled without WFF.
Since the beginning of 2025, the support for Androidx and WSL dials has ended, which means that new dials cannot be broadcast on the Play Store with these formats, but updates are allowed for them. Since January 14, 2026, Wear operating system users will not be able to install fashionable dials from the Play Store and developers will not be able to update for them.
In addition, for old dials, purchases, purchases and subscriptions in the application cannot be accessible, but already purchases and subscriptions will continue to work, but will not extend automatically.
