At the end of February we told you that, for quite some time, the command ‘Ok Google’ was broken on Wear OS devices. Smartwatches as popular as the [OPPO Watch](OPPO Watch) or the TicWatch Pro 3 they could not recognize voice command, since Google itself admitted that there were problems with it.
As it reflects 9to5Google, Google has released new updates for WearOS in order to solve this problem, with users in Reddit reporting that it has finally been solved and providing evidence of it in different models with WearOS.

The ‘Ok Google’ command works again on Wear OS
The problem with voice recognition was seen in the Google Issue Tracker, stating Google that I was already working on a solution. It is not known exactly when the error occurred, although everything indicates that it was due to one of the small updates to WearOS.
This error affected OPPO, TicWatch, Sunto, Fossil and Motorola devices, among others, in which the detection of the ‘Ok Google’ command did not work. Google has not communicated it officially (it does not usually do so with these types of minor updates), but users are already reporting that the error has been fixed. They are several threads those that have been emerging for a few hours, showing videos and talking about the fact that these watches can finally recognize the command.
From 9to5Google they point out that the person responsible for solving this is the WearOS update 2.45 .0.358809240, something that we can check from the watch itself. It is because of that it is advisable to always keep the smartwatch updated.
