Wear OS Offering Reminders To Wash Hands

To me, it’s always really exciting to see tech companies coming in to offer help during this pandemic. In order to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, we have all been instructed to wash our hands as often as possible and Google has a helpful way to remind you! With the latest update for the Google Clock app on Wear OS, you can activate a notification that includes a shortcut to start a timer for washing your hands.

Inside of the app drawer, you can activate the 40-second timer and this, in turn, will turn on the reminders/notifications for every 3 hours afterward. The CDC has suggested you wash your hands for 40-60 seconds, so now Google has turned into your hand-washing buddy!
