Set up Google Pay on your Galaxy Watch 4

 

Even as there are a great many stuff that we can eventually get right of entry to on the Galaxy Watch 4 thanks to Google Play: Gboard for higher voice typing, a much broader array of apps and watch faces, and Google Pay for put on OS. whilst Samsung Pay is k in its very own proper, Google Pay is extra widely available and already has my card info from my Google Play purchases, and it likely has yours, too. That makes putting in Google Pay at the Galaxy Watch four, the first-rate Android smartwatch round, an absolute breeze.

How to set up Google Pay on your Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

As a warning, Google Pay requires a lock screen on your watch — just as it requires a lock screen when you use it on your phone. So you'll only have to unlock the watch when putting it back on your wrist after having it off for charging, showering, or other activities you don't want it on for (like gutting a pumpkin or dressing a turkey)

• Open the Google Play app on your Galaxy Watch 4.
• Tap the search icon.
• Speak or type Google Pay.

• Tap the send/search icon.
• Tap Google Pay.
• Tap Install.
• Tap Open

1. 
   
2. 
   

If you already have Google Pay set up on your phone, your card will automatically import, and you're done. If you need to enter a card manually, tap the plus icon.

• Switch to your phone.
• Tap Add a new card.
• Tap Enter details manually.
• Enter your card info.
• Tap Save.

1. If your bank asks, verify your identity with a two-factor code.
2. Tap Done.

You're now all set, and the card will be added to the watch. However, unlike Samsung Pay, Google Pay doesn't get a dedicated button to press to open it, so if you want to access it more easily, set Google Pay as the double-click shortcut, so that even if the screen's off or you're in another app, Google Pay is always just a click-click away.

   

Google Home app latest update creates fluster

 Google has started updating its devices and apps following the announcement of changes to Speaker Groups and Assistant device setup. The latest version of the Google Home app no longer lets you use a phone's physical volume button when playing videos. 

The company on Thursday unveiled a new feature that will prevent you from changing the Speaker Group volume using your phone's physical volume button. Though that change has not yet been applied to Cast controls integrated into the system volume panel, it has now been removed with version 2.47.79.5 of Google Home for Android.

In the Home app, a green shortcut for Media can be found at the top or you can click a notification to open the Media screen. Previously, you could adjust output either on a single or multiple speakers using your Android device's volume rocker.

With the update to Google Home for Android released late Friday evening, you can no longer click the rocker to select your speaker's output - now you must use each speaker's virtual slider within the Home app.

This latest change makes it difficult to quickly control music started by someone else in your house. Currently, there is no difference when adjusting the volume of audio that is started directly on your phone. 

In addition, the "Group volume" slider still appears in the "Now playing" screen on the Nest Hub. It appears that Google Home 2.47.79.5 for Android will be available to most Android 11 and 12 devices in the coming days.
