About a month ago, Google released a new YouTube Music app for Wear OS. But “Wear OS” now means either the new version 3.0, running only on the Samsung Galaxy Watch4 until at least next year, or more or less all other Wear OS devices running older software. Today, Google claims that the YouTube Music Wear OS app is available on some older devices.

The press release states that the app works with “certain smartwatches,” so there appears to be some sort of limitation in place. Specifically supported devices include:

Google says it will expand support to more Wear OS 2 devices “later this year”.

The YouTube Music Wear app installs as part of the full app available on the Play Store. In addition to basic controls and the ability to “like” songs, the Smart Downloads feature automatically selects new music choices and saves them to your watch’s storage over Wi-Fi.
