The hamburger menu is out, and it's not the only thing that's changed
A recent report reveals that Samsung has made some big UI changes in the latest update to the Galaxy Wearable app. The most noticeable tweak is the removal of the side hamburger menu. Previously, this menu housed a list of connected devices, but now that list is accessed through a small device button located at the bottom of the screen. This floating button remains easily accessible, much like the old side panel it replaces.

Not too long ago, most people using the Galaxy Wearable app only had one or two devices linked – usually something like a Galaxy Watch and a pair of Galaxy Buds. And honestly, there wasn't much need to constantly bounce between them to check stats or settings.
But things are changing. With gadgets like the Galaxy Ring now in the mix, which can sync up with the Galaxy Watch for combined data tracking, Samsung seems to have realized that users are juggling devices more often. So, I think these updates are a smart, timely move, making the app more user-friendly and better suited to the growing lineup of wearables.
