Together is now a closed beta on Google Play!

1 - Join this group - https://groups.google.com/g/together-testers
2 - Install the apps with the same Google Account
📱 App + watch companion: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/io.together
⏱️ Watch face: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/io.together.watchface
→ Tap "Become a tester" on each, then install from the Play Store. (Watch parts are in final review — may take a few hours to appear.)

3 - 💞 Bring someone! Invite your partner/friend/family to join the group → https://groups.google.com/g/together-testers → then they install the same, and you can send each other photos, doodles & messages for a bit of fun together.

🗣️ Then tell me what you think — reply here

That means the app is ready to install — and, importantly, other people can now install it too, not just this first group. 🙌

Back in 2014, Android Wear shipped a little gem called the Together watch face. You'd pair it with one other person — your partner, a close friend — and you could doodle, send an emoji, a sticker, or a quick note straight to each other's wrist. Two people, one shared watch face. It was simple and weirdly intimate.

Then in 2016 Google quietly killed it (https://www.pcmag.com/news/google-says-goodbye-to-android-wears-together-watch-face), and it's still referenced in old support docs like this (https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1013732/)). I always missed it, and nothing really replaced it.

So over the past few months I rebuilt it from scratch for modern Wear OS (and Android phones) and working on getting it cross-platform with Garmin and IOS. It's called Together again:

- ✏️ Draw a little doodle, 📷 send a photo, or 💬 send text/emoji — from your watch or phone.

- It shows up instantly as the other person's watch face background + on their phone.

- Works for couples or small groups, with a cute streak counter and a quick-reply tile.

- Custom Watch Face Format face with configurable complications.

I'd love some testers to help me shake out bugs before a wider release.

Closed beta — join in:

The Immortal work is amazing. Finally we can use our Portal devices instead of being paper-weights.

I have two Portal GO''s and one Portal+ 1st gen. I have blocked al graph.facebook traffic and updates through my Unifi router. Thanks to this method, i still have the original Spotify App, the Plex App and the photoboot. I am however afraid to unblock my internet to let the Portal get the ADB option. I love the native apps and do not want to lose them.

Two questions

- Does anyone have the original APK files so i can re-install the Portal versions after unlocking?

- Is there a way to get the ADB option withouth letting Meta remotely trigger the removal of the Spotify and Plex app
