Fitbit says that with this update, navigation matches the usage pattern of the user better.<br \/>\nFor example, swiping from left to right when you&#8217;re in an application will now simply go back one screen. Pushing the left side button will always navigate you back the home screen too. So you&#8217;d use this if you just wanted to back out of everything and go about your day.<br \/>\nNavigation is also faster than before. So overall the experience will be more efficient and not just simpler to use.<br \/>\nFitbit is only making OS 5.0 available on the Versa 3 and the Sense<\/p>\n<p>OS 5.0 is only going to be for the Versa 3 and Sense smartwatches. At least for now. As Fitbit hasn&#8217;t announced compatibility with any other devices at this time.<br \/>\nNor has it suggested that it would come to other devices that are already available. That being said, it should be what you get on newer watches in the future.<br \/>\nFitbit doesn&#8217;t mention anything about when OS 5.0 will be available. Though it&#8217;s assumed to be fairly soon now that it&#8217;s made the announcement and put out the SDK for developers to work with.<br \/>\nThat being said, Fitbit isn&#8217;t releasing the Sense or Versa 3 until September 30. So even if the software were released users wouldn&#8217;t be able to get their hands on it.<br \/>\nYou can already pre-order both watches though, and they&#8217;ll ship once the release date lands next Wednesday.<br \/>\nThe software includes a new visual design system<\/p>\n<p>The more efficient navigation is partly made possible because of the all-new visual design system.<br \/>\nAnd a big part of that is the new font that Fitbit is calling 'Raiju.&#8217; Fitbit says the font is more space efficient and it&#8217;s easier to read. So naturally this makes everything else easier to get through.<br \/>\nBecause not only is text not taking up as much space on-screen, it&#8217;s not getting more difficult to read due to that nature. Fitbit has also added improvements to the visual style of the buttons, backgrounds, icons, colors, and tiles.<br \/>\nEssentially it&#8217;s a large overhaul for the very specific elements of the OS. And one that Fitbit is very excited about.<br \/>\nThe post Fitbit Is Releasing An OS 5.0 Update That Makes Navigation Easier appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Fitbit-Sense.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"899\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier this year Fitbit announced the Sense and Versa 3, and now it&#8217;s announcing OS 5.0 that those two smartwatches [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":5326,"comment_status":"false","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5325","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bez-kategorii"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5325","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5325"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5325\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5327,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5325\/revisions\/5327"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5326"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5325"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5325"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5325"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
