Following a beta testing period that saw the WhatsApp app made available via TestFlight previously, Meta has now rolled it out to everyone for the first time.
The WhatsApp app on the Apple Watch allows people to read and send messages as well as receive notifications when new calls are received.
All of this can be done with nothing more than an Apple Watch, so WhatsApp users won’t need to reach for their iPhone anywhere near as often,
Meta’s blog post announcing the new Apple Watch app included confirmation of a handful of key features that WhatsApp users can look forward to with the new app’s arrival.
- Call notifications: You can see who’s calling without looking at your iPhone.
- Full messages: You can read full WhatsApp messages on Apple Watch –- even long messages are visible directly from your wrist.
- Written messages: You can write out and send messages directly from your watch.
- Voice messages: You can record and send voice messages.
- Reactions: You can send quick emoji reactions to messages you receive.
- A great media experience: You’ll see clearer images and stickers on your Apple Watch.
- Chat history: You can see more of your chat history on screen when reading messages.
Meta notes that messages will continue to be encrypted, even when using the Apple Watch.
The new WhatsApp Apple Watch app is available for download, for free, now.
