Pixel Camera for Wear OS: Update brings quick start, gestures for camera switching and more (screenshots)

Just in time for the launch of the Pixel Watch 3, Google has released a new version of the Pixel Camera for the smartwatch operating system Wear OS The update to the new version 9.5 simplifies the steps for changing the camera, changing the recording mode and includes a new security feature that can also shorten the start of the camera app.

With the Pixel Camera for Wear OS Smartwatch users receive a remote control for the smartphone camera, which is mainly used for previewing images and for triggering the camera. Version 9.5 of the Pixel Camera is now being rolled out, and it has a number of improvements: First of all, you can switch between photos and videos using a switch on the left edge of the display. Either by touching the slider or by swiping up or down on the display.

The second new feature is the ability to switch between the main camera and the front camera, which can now be done by double-tapping the display. As before, switching is also possible by entering something in the overflow menu, but double-tapping is obviously much quicker. The latest update is a new indicator on the smartwatch’s watch face. If the camera app is open on the smartphone, the small icon appears at the bottom. The camera app on the smartwatch can be started by tapping the icon.

The update to version 9.5 is currently being rolled out to all users. The indicator only works if version 9.5 is installed on the smartphone, and the rollout may take a few more days.
