Huawei is rolling out a new software update for the Watch D smartwatch that brings the quick message reply feature for social media apps. As the name reflects, the feature will help you to make replies more efficiently right from your wrist.
The latest update for the Huawei Watch D owners is carrying HarmonyOS 2.1.0.368 (C00M05) build version. The software package size is 46.18MB.
Speaking of the new additions, the Quick message reply feature for Huawei Watch D devices eases the messaging functions. It allows you to instantly reply to texts in a few taps without sticking into many confusing steps.
When enabled, the messages will flash on the watch screen as an alert. And you can reply at once by just tapping on the particular message.
Moreover, the feature effectively supports third-party applications. For instance, WhatsApp and FaceBook Messenger. On the flip side, the update also adds a handful of new emojis to make the chat experience more fun.
The respective feature is already present in the dynamic Watch GT 3, Watch GT 2 Pro, Watch 3 series, Watch Fit 2, and other smartwatches. Now, the company is pushing the benefit of instant replies to Huawei Watch D consumers.
In addition to the fascinating element, the update also optimizes the overall system stability. As a result, users will find a more reliable and productive system after installing the latest firmware.

Huawei has released the January 2023 software update for the Huawei Nova Y90 and Y70 smartphones in the global market, and this firmware clearly improves these phones’ security aspects for a better user experience.
Both Huawei Nova Y90 and Y70 runs EMUI 12 out of the box but it would be interesting if the company could have sent EMUI 13 instead of the security patch. Speaking of which, no one knows, when Huawei will rollout EMUI 13 for global users for the time being.
Coming back to the rollout, January 2023 security update for Huawei Nova Y90 and Nova Y70 comes with EMUI version 12.0.1.177 and EMUI 12.0.1.202. This update is suggested to install on all of the devices sold marketed outside of China and will appear in batches.
We suggest the corresponding users look into the settings > then open System & updates, followed by a Software update, and then tap on CHECK FOR UPDATES. You can download the latest firmware also from the My Huawei app.
You should know that the update won’t erase your personal data but it is suggested for you back up any important data before updating the device. On the other hand, the package will be deleted automatically once the installation succeeds.
