Wear-OS becomes left-handed friendly with a big but

Google will soon get the ability to rotate the Wear OS screen 180 degrees to make it left-handed friendly. But the accessibility feature may not be available on all Wear OS smartwatches.

Google's Wear OS is becoming left-handed friendly. That is according to a thread in Google's support forum. However, the whole thing comes with a catch, as a Google developer replied that the feature will be implemented and available for future devices. He left it open whether this will affect all devices.

It is not known which smartwatches will get the left-handed update and which will not.

My world moves in 25 frames per second. As a journalist, I report – not because I can, but because I can’t help myself. After all, the world is full of stories that are waiting to be told. Adventures don't wait. From national to international news, hand me a camera and a mic and I've got it covered.
