    A couple of weeks ago, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Watch 5 and the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. Apart from their bigger batteries and a temperature sensor, they are highly similar to their predecessors in terms of internal hardware. The Galaxy Watch 4 series is now getting some features from the Galaxy Watch 5 series.

    Samsung has started rolling out an update to the Galaxy Watch 4 Manager app. It brings new watch faces from the Galaxy Watch 5 series and a slightly updated UI for the watch manager app. The latest update bumps up the app's version to 2.2.11.22081151 and is available through the Galaxy Store and the Google Play Store.

    The South Korean firm will soon release the Wear OS 3.5-based One UI Watch 4.5 update to the Galaxy Watch 4 and the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, bringing slightly refreshed UI and new features. The new design and features debuted with the Galaxy Watch 5 and the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro.

    If you have a Galaxy Watch 4 series smartwatch, you can start enjoying some of the Galaxy Watch 5's new features by downloading the new update available for the Galaxy Watch 4 Manager plugin for the Galaxy Wearable app.

    Thanks for the tip, Yash!
