MANILA — HUAWEI Philippines continues to elevate everyday convenience for Filipinos with the rollout of Angkas support on HUAWEI wearables. Users of the HUAWEI Fit SE, HUAWEI WATCH Fit 3 & Fit 4 Series, HUAWEI WATCH GT Series (GT 4, GT 5, GT 6), HUAWEI WATCH D2, and the HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate can now access Angkas ride information right from their wrist—making commuting simpler, safer, and more seamless than ever.
This latest update comes at the right time, offering added value during the bustling holiday season when mobility, quick decision-making, and time management matter most.
Angkas arrives on HUAWEI wearables
With Angkas now accessible on HUAWEI wearables and soon to be available for HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate 2, HUAWEI 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
HUAWEI wearables also help users stay informed and prepared with the PH Weather and Earthquakes app, delivering timely environmental and safety updates directly on the wrist. Powered by data from Project NOAH (Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards) and PHIVOLCS (Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology), the app provides real-time weather forecasts alongside alerts on earthquakes, volcanic activity, and potential tsunami events across the Philippines.
Users can also access a global earthquake list based on data from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), offering added awareness even beyond local conditions. With weather, typhoon, earthquake, tsunami, and volcano updates all in one place, the PH Weather app supports smarter daily travel planning and safer decision-making—especially during unpredictable weather conditions.
Currently available on the mobile app, this feature will soon roll out to HUAWEI WATCH 5 and HUAWEI WATCH Ultimate 2, reinforcing HUAWEI’s commitment to delivering practical, life-enhancing technology through its growing wearable ecosystem.
