TL;DR
- Google has mandated that all Wear OS apps need to have a 64-bit version from September 15.
- The company says developers can still offer a 32-bit app alongside the 64-bit version.
- This comes months after Google announced similar plans for Google TV and Android TV.
It seems like 2026 is the year that Google’s other platforms will embrace the 64-bit era. Android TV and Google TV will require 64-bit app versions from August, and the company has now announced similar plans for Wear OS.
Google has announced that all new Wear OS apps and app updates hosted on the Play Store must have a 64-bit version alongside the existing 32-bit version from September 15, 2026. The company says Google Play will start blocking non-compliant apps after the deadline.
