The report also mentions that Google is likely to update its old YouTube Music app on Apple Watch with offline storage to match the upcoming Garmin app as well as the Wear OS app. Moreover, the Wear OS version of the app may also possess the ability to act as a remote to control and play content on Android phones.
As per the report, apps for other wearables are also planned. As the YouTube Music app becomes available on more devices, it will help boost the subscription service since most of these apps require Premium/paid access.
