The latest Google Play Services update, version 7.3, brings a ton of awesome functionality to your Android device, including ways to use multiple wearables at once, new fitness display options for Google Fit and much more.

Most notably, version 7.3 allows you to connect multiple wearable devices to your smartphone at the same time. Google has introduced new Channel and Capability APIs, which allow developers to more easily handle messages and connections between two devices, as well as control where certain data goes.

Google Fit is also getting a few new enhancements, making it easier for other applications to display up-to-date information they get from Google Fit. Google goes on to say:

Google Fit is also augmenting its existing data types with granular nutrition information, including protein, fat, cholesterol, and more. By leveraging these details about the user’s diet, developers can help users stay more informed about their health and fitness.
