    Samsung's new smartwatches, the Galaxy Watch 4 and the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, are based on Wear OS 3. This new version of Wear OS is co-developed by Google and Samsung, and it brings a lot of new features and improved apps. One of those apps includes YouTube Music, and it is now available for the Galaxy Watch 4 series.

    The new YouTube Music app, which has improved UI design and the ability to download tracks for offline listening, has a download size of 11.25MB. It can be downloaded on the Galaxy Watch 4 series via the Play Store. However, you would need a YouTube Premium subscription to listen to music and download music tracks on the smartwatch. These smartwatches recently got access to the new Spotify app that offers offline music playback.

    Samsung had announced that the Galaxy Watch 4 series would get Google Assistant, Google Pay, and YouTube Music apps. However, those apps weren't available on launch day, and the rollout seems to have started with the YouTube Music app. Users can also choose between Google Pay and Samsung Pay on their Galaxy Watch 4.
