I by no means thought the day would come, however after greater than 4 years, Google has lastly rolled out an replace to the Pixel Watch companion app on Android that fixes the horrendous approach it manages screenshots coming from the watch. Each foolish subject we used to have whereas taking watch screenshots is now gone, and you’ll lastly take a number of photographs in a row with out stopping to save lots of or share every one and with out them vanishing.

Model 4.2.0.833802130 of the Pixel Watch app rolled out to my Pixel 10 Professional XL yesterday night, and I’m fairly positive it’s the one which triggered this modification. Just some hours earlier, I had taken a bunch of screenshots on my watch for one more article, and I needed to handle them the foolish and horrifically sluggish outdated approach. That’s, every screenshot I used to tackle my Pixel Watch received despatched to the telephone with solely an choice to share it. There was no save or view, so I usually resorted to sharing to Google Drive to maintain it secure. Plus, each new screenshot dismissed the earlier one, even when I hadn’t acted on that one but.

This created so many irritating moments the place I believed I’d saved a number of snaps on my watch, solely to comprehend that my telephone simply confirmed me the final one and the remainder had vanished. Return, repeat one after the other. It was a silly time waste, and for somebody who has a job masking Pixels and smartwatches, it made my very own life (and several other of my colleagues) hell. Ask Kaitlyn what number of instances she needed to repeat some workout routines throughout her assessments as a result of she took a number of screenshots in a row and forgot that the Pixel Watch solely retains the final one!

The brand new Pixel Watch app modifications that fully. Now, screenshot notifications stack up on prime of one another, as an alternative of dismissing each other. I can bulk-screenshot on my watch, then seize my telephone, and each notification is there for me to see. Higher but? They get robotically saved on the telephone’s native storage below Footage > Watch screenshots. No extra guide saving one after the other.

Google has additionally modified the default notification motion. As an alternative of sharing, it’s now Faucet to view, which opens the screenshot in any gallery or picture viewer in your telephone. For those who select Google Images, you’ll be capable of again it up, edit it, add it to an album, and extra. All commonplace stuff, however we needed to undergo hoops to attain these earlier than. Fortunately, not anymore.
