HUAWEI Philippines enhances convenience for users by integrating Angkas support across various wearables, including the Fit SE, WATCH Fit 3 & 4 Series, GT Series, WATCH D2, and WATCH Ultimate. This update enables users to access ride information directly from their wrist, streamlining commuting, especially beneficial during the busy holiday season.
Angkas Arrives on HUAWEI Wearables
With Angkas now accessible on the company’s wearables and soon to be available for WATCH Ultimate 2, WATCH 4 & 5. Users can conveniently view essential travel details without needing to check their phones during busy commutes. The app displays:
- Driver status (searching, assigned, on the way)
- Pick-up and drop-off locations
- Driver’s name
- Fare information
- Estimated time of arrival (ETA) to pick up
- ETA from pick-up to destination
Designed with safety and practicality in mind, this integration gives riders a quick, hands-free way to stay updated throughout their journey—whether navigating crowded terminals, managing multiple errands, or traveling during peak holiday traffic.
Stay Informed for Safe Travels with the PH Weather App
The company’s wearables feature the PH Weather and Earthquakes app, which provides timely environmental updates on the user’s wrist. Utilizing data from Project NOAH and PHIVOLCS, the app offers real-time weather forecasts as well as alerts for earthquakes, volcanic activity, and potential tsunamis in the Philippines. It also includes a global earthquake list from the U.S. Geological Survey. By consolidating various alerts, the app aids in effective travel planning and enhances safety amid unpredictable weather.
Currently available on the mobile app, this feature will soon roll out to HUAWEI WATCH 5 and HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate 2, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to delivering practical, life-enhancing technology through its growing wearable ecosystem.
