Just days before the official unveiling of the next-generation Galaxy Watch 6 series, Samsung has announced a slew of new app support for the upcoming lineup as well as for the existing smartwatches with the goal of making the experience much better. Keep reading to know more about them.

Samsung announced the availability of a new Samsung Wallet app, a Thermo Check app and support for a new WhatsApp app for WearOS. This comes after WhatsApp just announced a new app for Wear OS 3.0 and the upcoming WearOS 4.0 watches.

For starters, the new Thermo Check app will allow developers to take full advantage of the infrared technology used in Galaxy Watches for temperature measurement. This will be made possible via Samsung's Privileged Health software development kit (SDK) along with its latest Skin Temperature API.

With this new technology, your Galaxy Watch will not only be able to measure your body temperature, but will also be able to take in the temperature of your surroundings and various objects you interact with. And that too without having to make any actual contact with the object. It can let you know the temperature of the meal you're about to eat, the water you're about to drink, the chair you're about to sit on, and much more. This feature will first appear with the Galaxy Watch 6 series with a future launch planned for the Watch 5 and earlier models.
