I don't know if anybody agrees with me that not having facer compatible with the Galaxy Watch. 7 is terrible. That is the only one that has everything you need. It should have been already compatible before they put out the Galaxy Watch Seven. I don't understand what they were thinking. And I wanted to let Samsung Note, then. Y'all have ruined me on the taste of a watch Seven on any watch. Bye I, if I don't understand why facer is not connected with the watch 7, it is embarrassing. You can't find another good face that really works with the Galaxy Watch Seven or You just can't it is terrible? I don't know if anybody thinks the zack same way I do that.I feel and I am angry about it. They should've connected them both before they put it out. The facer app with the Galaxy Note. Watch Seven It should've been done that way. Or they should've found another way to do it that is compatible to facer. 

If anybody agrees with me, let me know. I just really would like and I feel angry about it. I'm getting rid of my watch because of this. I don't want to be looking for new watch Faces. I wanna be able to go to one place and it'd all be in 1 area that is nice to have. It's like i'm going to the galaxy store and not have to look all over the place for another app.

If Facer is not a Samsung app, you should address compatibility issues with the developer.  Maybe they are in the process of making it compatible. The "about this app" notes in the Play store even say it's compatible up to watch 6

Why is my new WearOS watch not compatible with all faces on Facer?

Due to a policy change by Google, new Wear OS 5 watches, including the Pixel Watch 3, Samsung Galaxy Watch7, and Galaxy Watch Ultra, are not compatible with Facer watch faces today. The only watch faces usable on these smartwatches are those that have been built using Googleā€™s ā€œWatch Face Formatā€.

Why can't Facer use the Watch Face Format?

The Watch Face Format is not compatible with Facer for multiple reasons:

Its capabilities are more limited than Facerā€™s, and converting our faces to that format will result in loss of functionality in a number of cases.

Faces in this format can only be published in the Google Play Store, a manual process which is not logistically feasible for our catalog of 500,000 faces.

Faces purchased within Facer would not be recognized by Google Play and users would have to repurchase all their watch faces.

Faces in that format do not support a subscription model, and Facer Premium subscribers would lose access to all their watch faces.

In other words, the Watch Face Format was not designed to support a service such as Facer, which is why we are not able to support it today.

We understand these issues are detrimental to Facer users and we have been actively discussing a resolution with Google since the Watch Face Format was announced last year. The change was unfortunately rolled out before a solution could be reached.

What does this mean for you today?

If you are using a Wear OS watch with Wear OS 4 or earlier, nothing changes and you will still be able to access the largest catalog of watch faces in the world. This remains true even if this watch is updated to Wear OS 5.

If you decide to upgrade to the Pixel Watch 3, Galaxy Watch7, or Galaxy Watch Ultra, you will unfortunately no longer be able to use Facer, the watch faces you purchased on our platform, or access all 500,000 watch faces from our catalog via your Facer Premium subscription.

I mean the biggest thing that they're trying to do right now is take the faces that are popular along with new ones and just sell them on the Play store so facers trying to do something but their options are limited due to what was mentioned above about Google changing the rules on the watch faces
