Get ready for a messaging revolution on your wrist! WhatsApp, the messaging giant with over 3 billion users, has landed on the Apple Watch, but there's a catch. Only specific models will support this new feature.
The latest integration allows Apple Watch users to stay connected through WhatsApp, reading and replying to messages with ease. But here's where it gets interesting: you can now receive call notifications, view entire messages, and even record and send voice notes, all from your wrist! And this is the part most people miss: you can also send emoji reactions and access your chat history.
I gave it a spin on the Apple Watch Series 11, and it was a breeze! Texting and adding emojis were seamless. The app even suggests smart replies, making it super convenient for quick responses. Navigating chats felt intuitive, but there's a twist. The audio messaging feature is limited to just 10 seconds, which might be a surprise for some. Could this be a nudge towards shorter, more efficient communication?
So, who's invited to the party? Apple Watch Series 4 users, with WatchOS 10 or later, can join in on the fun. But this is just the start, as WhatsApp promises more exciting features for its new watchOS audience.
