Today, WhatsApp works as the most recent electronic gadget for communication, which supports chatting, dialing, or even video calling. Now, it has gone one step further for Apple Watch users since, shortly, WhatsApp has made it part of its list on the Apple Watch.
WhatsApp for Apple Watch News
The very latest that has been announced is that messages can also be sent from an Apple Watch to a phone and from a phone to an Apple Watch. Such a provision makes the use of the app easier and quicker; it was previously only used on an iPhone: now, one can message on an Apple Watch without having a phone with the application.
Which Models will Support It?
The list comes up with fewer models that would get WhatsApp on their Apple Watches. But the only requirement is to have WatchOS 9 or a newer version. Now let's dig deeper to find supporting models of this feature:
1. Start from Apple Watch Series 4 and above
This applies to all Apple Watch Series 4 and newer versions. Here, we include Series 5, Series 6, Series 7, Series 8, SE (1st and 2nd Gen), and Apple Watch Ultra.
2. Watch OS 9 or Later
The new feature in WhatsApp is only available on WatchOS 9 and above. So, before using WhatsApp on your Apple Watch, make sure you have the WatchOS update.
How Can It Be Used on an iWatch?
For WhatsApp to be used on an iWatch, first, upgrade the application found on the iPhone, then get the application installed on an iWatch. This completes pairing the iWatch with the iPhone, after which one would read messages received in the past, send new messages, and even send voice messages from an iWatch.
Features
Notifications: Now you have all WhatsApp notifications directly visible on the screen of your iWatch; thus, the contents of the message can be seen and replied to at a glance.
Voice Messages: Record voice messages directly from your iWatch; this will be quicker and more convenient.
Conversation Management: This makes sending new messages a lot easier after having read previous conversations.
Conclusion
This has enhanced the level of WhatsApp for Apple Watch users. The feature can only be availed of with the installation of Watch OS 9 or later on compatible models. So just like that, you can start using WhatsApp in a whole new way on your Apple Watch!
