A Developer Has Ported Youtube Music App To Wear Os 2 0 Smartwatches

Google announced to shut down its music streaming platform Google Play Music last year to replace it with YouTube Music. However, the Mountain View giant received backlash for not releasing a YouTube Music app for its Wear OS platform for smartwatches. It even released a YouTube Music app for Apple’s watchOS. So now, a developer was able to port the Android app of YouTube Music to Wear OS 2.0 with a few tweaks.

Also, the developer used a modified version of the YouTube Music app, dubbed YouTube Music Vanced, to port the app. It was to enable users to sign in to their Google accounts on the Wear OS version of the app. It was a necessity as the original YouTube Music app does not allow sign-ins when or if the app has been tampered with. Hence, there remains a question of security related to the Wear OS version of the YouTube Music app.
