Intune support of WearOS

We have an application we have developed for a customer which is WearOS native and does not required a paired phone/tablet to function on a Wi-Fi capable watch/wearable.

 

This customer's corporate team requires that all network devices be managed by Intune. Is there a timeline for Intune natively supporting WearOS management?

 

Thank you

Scott

    Hi, currently Intune does not natively manage Wear OS smartwatches.
    Supported systems remain Android (phone/tablet), iOS/iPadOS, Windows, macOS, Linux, and Chrome OS; “Android (AOSP)” management is limited to RealWear viewers.
    There is no official roadmap or announced dates for Wear OS.
    If IT demands Intune, a Wear OS watch today cannot be enrolled: you must use a third-party MDM or isolate it and control its application.
    As an alternative, restrict network access directly in the app (auth, certificates, proxy).
