Google Play Services Update Includes New Phone, Wearable Features

Custom Android Bugdroid

Google detailed its latest Google Play services update this afternoon, v24.25. Inside, there’s an assortment of new features and changes, though, Google doesn’t do too well at explaining every exact change.

For example, while Wear OS owners will now be able to use American Express for Wallet on supported Fitbit devices, Google also notes that users will see “new features” for IDs that get added to Wallet. We aren’t sure what those new features are.

Below you can view the entire changelog, some of which is more helpful than other parts.
