Assign a Wear OS app
Last updated January 15th, 2025
After you’ve added the Wear OS app to your tenant, you can assign it to your Wear OS smartwatches.
You can only assign Wear OS apps to a device group that is dedicated to smartwatches — or in other words, only contains Wear OS devices.
To do this:
-
If you clicked Save & Assign as the last step during the Add a Wear OS app procedure, skip this step. Otherwise:
-
Go to Application.
-
Search for and select the app, then click Assign.
The Assign Application page opens.
-
-
In the Wear OS Settings section, set Automatically Run Apps value:
-
After installation – Auto-runs the app upon installation.
-
After installation and every app update — Auto-runs the app upon installation and app updates.
-
Don’t automatically run app — Doesn’t auto-run the app.
-
-
If you want to set up a Managed Configuration like Android (allowing you to remotely specify settings for the app), click Set Configuration.
-
Provide a configuration name in Managed Configuration.
-
Available settings are app-specific. Populate values as required.
-
-
In the Target section, set Target Type to Group.
-
Search for and select your Wear OS device group, then click Assign.
-
When asked to confirm, verify the assignment details, then click OK.
The app is now assigned to the smartwatches in the chosen device group.
