    Samsung had launched the Hand Wash app for its Tizen-based smartwatches last year. It reminds people to wash their hands regularly, which is extremely helpful during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Now, the same app has been released for Wear OS 3-based Galaxy Watch 4 series.

    The Hand Wash app can be downloaded on the Galaxy Watch 4 and the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic through the Google Play Store. Apart from reminding people to wash their hands regularly, the Hand Wash app also auto-detects hand washes and offers a timer for quality washing. It also provides a dashboard view where users can see how many times they've washed their hands on a particular day.

    The app has a file size of 18MB, and it can appear on top of other apps to display the wash timer. It isn't compatible with non-Samsung Wear OS smartwatches.

    Have you installed this app on your Galaxy Watch 4 or Galaxy Watch 4 Active? Let us know in the comments section below. Don't forget to join SamMobile's Telegram channel to get instant updates on stories and reviews and to interact with our reader community.
