The launch of Skype for Android Wear smartwatches lets you respond to incoming messages from your wrist, either by speaking into device or by choosing from a selection of pre-written responses. Also, one can draw on watch’s screen with a finger to send an emoji.
The updated app allows one to take calls from your watch and it will transfer to your phone. Yes, you can talk hands-free if you connect a Bluetooth speaker or headset. The watch also allows you to mute, hang up, pause or switch to another incoming call, as and when needed.
The android wear watches that are currently supported with this update include Moto 360, Huawei Watch, LG Watch Urbane and the ASUS ZenWatch.
The recent update has largely been focused on bringing the new Android Wear support to Skype users. It also includes the recently released Skype emojis that let you share clips from your favorite movies and TV shows through messaging.
