Wear OS, the rebranded version of Android Wear, will likely make its return to Google I/O after being an afterthought in last year’s event. The best part? No Android phone required. Also, you can decide if you want to see more or less of a topic or publisher.

New work profiles and security advancements are also welcome updates for working professionals. Including new gesture controls, adaptive battery life managers, and a new mode to help people put phones down at night and go to sleep.

In fact, Pixel owners will run into bugs, there’s no question about that. Pichai said that users will no longer have to say “Hey Google” every single time they need something, allowing for actual back-and-forth conversations.
