The first OTA update for the recently released We Watch has brought a ton of new features, including the promised integration with iOS.
Xiaomi also took the opportunity to launch an iOS version of the Xiaomi Wear app, which until now was only available on Android.
Note that this is an online-only service, which means it's not yet available for download from the App Store.
Xiaomi's Mi Watch and the news of its first OTA update
Meanwhile, the update also streamlines the pairing process with Android phones. And this is after persistent user complaints that the watch frequently hangs when first paired over Bluetooth.
The changelog also suggests that the operating system will now use Wi-Fi connections as the default when available.
The incoming update also fixes several bugs, including a particularly annoying one that allowed even closed apps to send notifications.
The update would also allow users to update weather location information, Xiaomi said. Other than these, the update doesn't seem to bring anything new for now, but users expect more features and fixes to be on the way in the coming weeks and months.
The first smartwatch to launch under Xiaomi's own brand, the Mi Watch launched in China earlier this month with a familiar design that many believe bears an uncanny resemblance to the Apple Watch.
It comes with an aluminum alloy frame, a rectangular watch case that features a 1.78-inch AMOLED screen protected by 4D curved sapphire crystal.
It is powered by the Snapdragon 3100 platform and is based on Google's WearOS operating system.
