If you’ve had one for a while, you’ve probably come to accept that your smartwatch plays just as important a role as your smartphone. That’s because your wearable isn’t just something you use to monitor your wellbeing, but also something you can use to communicate with others when your phone isn’t around.

One of the most basic things when it comes to learning things that work on Wear OS is choosing your default input method, language, or knowing how to change it whenever you want. So we’ve prepared this post to help you do just that.

When you start using Wear OS, you will be given two options to choose from as your input method: Google Keyboard and Google Handwriting Input.

As you might expect, the first option gives you a full-size functional keyboard that you can type on or slide across to enter words as you please. While you do get all the keys on the same screen, they’re all crammed together with no space in between and if you have large fingertips you’ll have trouble typing directly from your watch.
