You see, the thing is you could easily install and run third-party apps on your watch [outside of Play Store]. However, there was one major roadblock-the display size of those apps. Since these apps aren’t optimized for the watch’s screen size, they all appeared zoomed in. So even to interact with a button, I had to keep on scrolling. Well, in some apps, I wasn’t even able to tap on the button as it was beyond the display [it was a button to verify captcha which I wasn’t able to pass].
However, then I realized that since the underlying OS is Android-based, whatever tweaks I had carried out on my smartphone should be applicable on the watch as well. And that was indeed the case. So keeping that in mind, this guide will show you the steps to change [decrease or increase] the screen density/DPI/display size on your Galaxy Watch 4 and set it as per your desired level. Follow along.
