With WhatsApp on Apple Watch, you always have the popular chat service at your fingertips – literally. You can use the messenger on your smartwatch.
WhatsApp on Apple Watch: What you need to know
Unfortunately, an official extension for the Apple Watch has not yet been released. However, there are other ways to view your WhatsApp messages on your watch.
- You can reply to push notifications using the quick reply feature.
- The quick reply functions are standard responses such as “Hello,” “On my way,” “Can’t right now,” or “What’s up?”
- You can also respond to messages with emojis or voice messages. You can even write a message on your watch with your finger.
- This allows you to reduce the waiting time for the final expansion.
WatchChat on Apple Watch
If you want to use WhatsApp on Apple Watch as usual, WatchChat 2 could be the solution for you – a third-party app that offers additional features.
- The app can be downloaded for free from the App Store. Now open it on your Apple Watch.
- Open WhatsApp on your iPhone, navigate to Settings → Linked Devices → Add Device, and scan the QR code displayed on your Apple Watch.
- You can then not only receive and write messages, but also use images, voice messages, and your own chat histories directly on your watch.
- However, please note that third-party apps may pose privacy risks and always require a connection to your iPhone. Optionally, Smart Stack widgets can be integrated into watchOS to enable quick access to WhatsApp directly from the watch interface.
