GoKawiilGarmin Connect IQ 9.3 opens microphone and speaker access to third-party apps
Garmin has released Connect IQ 9.3, an update that lets third-party apps use the microphone and speaker on select smartwatches, including the Fenix 8/9, Forerunner 570/970, Venu 4/X1, and Approach S72. Previously, this hardware access was largely reserved for Garmin's own software. The update does include limits, such as preventing recording when a third-party app runs in the background.
