How To Use WhatsApp On Apple Watch

Tech

An Apple Watch is a brilliant way to stay connected to the world despite being away from your phone. It can receive calls and messages, while also keeping track of your health and providing fitness data. While iMessage is the go-to platform for messaging service in the US, there are millions of WhatsApp users on iPhone who might also have an Apple Watch. If you are one of them and don’t want to miss a message notification ever, you should enable WhatsApp notifications on your Apple Watch. How to receive WhatsApp notifications on your Apple Watch Apple Watch Series 9 To receive WhatsApp notifications on your Apple Watch, you’ll have to enable the notifications for the app from your iPhone. Here’s how: Once done, you’ll start receiving WhatsApp notifications on your Apple Watch. How to reply to WhatsApp Messages on Apple Watch Apple Watch and iPhone You must note that Meta hasn’t released a WhatsApp app for the Apple Watch yet, so you can only receive message notifications from the service, and can’t start new conversations like on iMessage. However, you can still respond to those notifications. There are two ways to reply to WhatsApp messages on your Apple Watch. One, you can choose from one of the suggested messages like ‘Hello’ and ‘What’s Up?.’ It comes in handy when you’re in a hurry but isn’t ideal. Second, you can use the built-in keyboard of the recent Apple Watches. And if you are uncomfortable typing on it, you can always use the dictation feature to record and send your message. For the time being, there’s no app for WhatsApp on the Apple Watch, so you can only receive notifications and respond to them – which, in my opinion, is enough on most occasions. But I hope Meta rolls out WhatsApp for watchOS in 2024, so you can also start conversations on the messaging service without picking up your phone.
