Huawei has started expanding the “wheelchair mode” to its wearables and in the current scenario, the feature has reached the global Watch Ultimate 2 units. Apart from the useful capability, the company is sending a huge changelog to device users.
Wheelchair mode debuted at the Now Is The Run event in Madrid on 26th February. It was first unveiled with the Watch GT 6 series, showing its useful benefits.
Now the company is bringing the wheelchair mode to the Huawei Watch Ultimate 2 in the global market alongside a big feature update. Users can access the feature from the Activity Logs and then the Activity Ring Settings.
The firm is also introducing real-time virtual cadence for bike and cycling experiences. It has added a new remote shutter support to the wearable to work efficiently when paired with other Android handsets.
Huawei even optimized certain existing features in the device. All these features are released with the HarmonyOS 6.0.0.213 version. You can check all the add-ons below.
