In a new blog post, Google has announced that it will now allow third-party developers to create custom Tiles for Wear OS.
The idea was first introduced in 2019, with widgets that users could glace at and swipe to get information about calendar notifications, weather, or status.
All of the Tiles used to be directly from Google or the manufacturer of the device.

Google has announced the alpha release of the Jetpack Tiles library which allows third-party developers to create custom Tiles on Wear OS smartwatches. Since 2019 when Tiles were brought to Wear OS, users have had to make do with just six tiles but this will soon change.
While developers can now get to work on their own custom Tiles, users will have to wait for a platform update to Wear OS which Google plans to release later in the spring. Once developers get to work on their own custom Tiles, they’ll enable users to interact with various apps on their watch or phone in a much quicker manner than is possible today.
