Huawei Watch D2 gets keyboard in latest global update

Huawei is rolling out a new update for the Watch D2. This model launched last year as a refreshed version of the older Watch D. One of its core features is the ability to monitor your blood pressure level.

Now, several users have reported software version 5.0.0.197(C00M03), which is a 55.93MB size file. The change log states that there are system stability improvements for “certain situations” without any further details. More interestingly, there is a new keyboard feature for this smartwatch. This is referred to as an “input method” in the release notes, allowing you to edit alarm names and reply to SMS messages. One Android user confirmed that this worked for a WhatsApp message. Others suggest that you can force the keyboard to pop up, so you can try it out for yourself, by creating a new alarm and selecting “Alarm label”.

The Huawei Watch D2 smartwatch update version 5.0.0.197 appears to be rolling out to users globally. This is likely to be a phased release, though there is no indication as to when the software will reach all users. When it is available in your country, you will be able to trigger the installation via the Huawei Health app.
