The company claims that supported Amazfit wearable devices will receive voice command functionality, new personalized health features, and improved messaging and Bluetooth integration. Zepp OS4 is currently compatible with the Amazfit Balance and Amazfit Active smartwatches, with support for the Amazfit T-Rex Ultra, Falcon, and Cheetah series to be added later.
In an article released in the newsroom by Zepp Health, it was revealed that the fourth major update of Zepp OS has been released, along with the introduction of new features. The company emphasizes that the integration of GPT-4o is aimed at enhancing the functionality of Amazfit smartwatches and providing more useful responses. It also focuses on personalized health solutions.
A key highlight of the new operating system is the addition of voice commands in Zepp Flow. The main interface of Zepp OS allows users to control devices through natural language interaction. Users can manage settings, reply to messages from applications like WhatsApp, and initiate Bluetooth calls by speaking commands. Notably, WhatsApp integration is currently available only for Android, with the company stating that iOS support will be added later this year.
Zepp OS4 can also utilize the AI capabilities of GPT-4o to provide oral responses to users, so that written replies do not need to be read on the display. The operating system currently supports English and German languages, however, the company says that support for French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Portuguese will be added later this month.
Zepp OS4 also adds Bluetooth functionality, allowing users to control compatible devices directly from the smartwatch, such as speakers, cycling meters, even GoPro cameras. The app store also features many new mini-applications designed to assist users with outdoor activities and sports.
Zepp Aura now supports AI-driven sleep guidance, while Zepp Coach provides real-time fitness guidance. The company states that new features to the Zepp Health ecosystem will be added regularly.
