If you are looking for an open platform for music listeners and creators, then SoundCloud would be the only one that fits your requirements. Initially, it was established in 2007 but was completely launched in October 2008. Since its release, the app has gotten vast attention from music lovers. At that time, SoundCloud was a much more demanding product.
Following that demand, SoundCloud agreed to it and reached the heights of success. So far, the app has become popular and is being expanded across the web, including iOS, Android, Sonos, Chromecast, and more. Keeping up with the demand for Samsung wearables, SoundCloud developers opened their gates to include the Samsung Watch 4 and 5. So, let’s discuss what exactly was done.
SoundCloud opened a gateway for the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and 5 series.
If you remember, the popular music-sharing and streaming service “SoundCloud” teased its Smartwatch app earlier. Together, they launched the SoundCloud beta version for Wear OS smartwatches. The major participants found the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and 5 series.
Following this, your smartwatch’s Wear OS allows you to listen to music online or offline using the SoundCloud app. Unlike SoundCloud’s other platforms’ UI, SoundCloud’s Smartwatch has some tweaks to its UI. Certainly, there is a minimalistic option, including a play/pause button, previous track, next track, and other useful things.
Because the SoundCloud Smartwatch app is in the beta phase, it is available to all Galaxy Watch 4 and 5 series users. And like every beta participant, you need to become a beta tester through their official page. Below are the steps to becoming a beta tester for the SoundCloud Smartwatch beta app.
- Simply visit the official SoundCloud page.
- Now you’ll see a blue-coloured beta tester button.
- Click on the beta tester button.
- After that, open the Google Play Store on your smartwatch.
- Next, download the SoundCloud beta app from the given link.
- Once done, update your Soundcloud app with the received update.
- Now open the updated SoundCloud app and enjoy the beta phase.
- That’s it; in such a way, you can use SoundCloud on your Samsung Wearables.
Moreover, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and 5 series are based on Wear OS 3. Even so, the SoundCloud app will be available on Wear OS 2. Meanwhile, you can use SoundCloud on Wear OS 2-based smartwatches. Overall, this is a great step from SoundCloud towards Wear OS, especially for the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch 5 series.
