1Get your Android Wear
device to work cross-
platform w ithout hackingOne of the major problems in the ongoing
battle between Apple and Android is the lack
of cross-platform integration. Once you’ve
committed to one operating system, it
becomes very diffi cult to move over as so
much of your data, such as your music and
photos, refuses to transfer across to the rival
platform. Wearables have added another
dimension to this issue as an iPhone user
may want an A ndroid smartwatch, but then
they would not be able to use it with their
phone. However, iPhone users can now use
some basic functions on their Android Wear
dev ice thanks to two new apps. This tutorial
will require you to use both an A ndroid and
Apple handset in the setup, but after that
your smartwatch should be able to sync up
with either of your phones.
This tutorial will show you how to use both
the BLE Utilit y app and the ‘Aerlink: Wear
Connect for iOS’ app in order to turn your
Android-only smartwatch into a device that
can work with both A ndroid and Apple
handsets, giv ing you many more interesting
options for your smartwatch.
