Google is testing media playback from Android smartwatches' built-in speakers in Wear OS 5.1, allowing users to play audio directly instead of only over Bluetooth.
Users can choose the built-in speaker for apps supporting this feature, although it's unclear which devices will have this capability at launch.
The Wear OS 5.1 update is based on Android 15, introducing new features like credential managers alongside the media playback functionality.
Some Pixel Watch users recall being able to play audio through the watch speakers two years ago, though this was acknowledged as a temporary bug.
