WhatsApp users can now enjoy a significant enhancement with the launch of a dedicated app for the Apple Watch. This new development by Meta-owned WhatsApp allows users to conveniently send messages and respond to chats directly from their wrists without the need to access their smartphones.
While WhatsApp notifications have been available on the Apple Watch for years, the functionality was limited, only displaying message snippets. With the latest update, users can now access full messages, reply with emojis, and send voice memos, mirroring the experience on other devices like smartphones and tablets.
The update brings several new features, including call notifications, the ability to read complete messages, send voice messages, react with emojis, view clear images and stickers, access more chat history, and ensure end-to-end encryption for privacy. WhatsApp promises further enhancements for Apple Watch users in the future.
It’s worth noting that the new WhatsApp app for Apple Watch requires an Apple Watch Series 4 or newer, running watchOS 10 or later. The app is expected to be released shortly, offering an improved messaging experience for Apple Watch users.
