Google believed to be inching closer towards making Android Wear iPhone compatible

We’ve heard numerous reports of Google wanting to make Android Wear compatible with iOS devices as well. This makes more sense now with the Apple Watch all set to go on sale. A new report now suggests that Google is even closer to bringing this idea to fruition.

As the screenshot above shows, Google seems to have already worked on bringing support for native apps like FaceTime and should most likely support other apps like Messages, Mail etc.  Since Google’s own apps (Gmail, Maps etc) are available on the iPhone, it should be easier to integrate them with Android Wear.

It is unclear if Google will be able to bring music player controls with Android Wear for iPhone. But knowing that Pebble has already achieved this with its smartwatch, it doesn’t seem impossible.

Google has declined to comment on the matter saying that it has no announcements to make at this time, which is the type of response you’d expect from a company which doesn’t want to give away a secret.

Apple has some strict policies in place which could block the release of the Android Wear app into the iTunes App Store. So we might be jumping to conclusions a little early here.

Would you like to see Android Wear support make its way to iOS? Sound off below.
