Buckle up for OnePlus Watch 2 owners, because this news is great. With the update allowing you to change phones and not have to reset the watch to factory settings, it’s going to be a much easier process. This means no more fuss with the customized watch faces you monitor, downloaded app files, and other settings that turn your phone into a PDA when you upgrade.
Such a switch is allowed by Google because of the data transfer that is built right into the new WearOS 4. This already proved inconvenient when the OnePlus Watch2 did not support this feature at launch, making a full resetting the only option.
Thankfully, that has changed! The newly released OHealth app update (v4.21.15) introduces an element “Migrate Data”. Here’s how it works: Similarly, navigating through the OHealth app on your brand-new phone, signing in, and scanning the QR code can help you pair the watch quickly. That is all! Now, if the research is completely completed before implementation then there is no problem.
This update will enable you to modify settings more comfortably, among others. From the widget on your phone’s app you’ll be able to adjust the rise to wake and media auto-launch features, so there’s no need to look for settings on the watch anymore.
Although the Watch 2 has not yet received a system update, the app update itself has added improvements that bring warmly welcomed changes. If you’re trying to decide between a new phone or keeping your watch setup, you no longer have to worry about losing watch setup details!
