Introducing WhatsApp for Apple Watch

Introducing WhatsApp for Apple Watch

Today we are announcing a big upgrade for your wrist — the all-new WhatsApp app for your Apple Watch*. This new experience will help you stay on top of your chats without needing to pull out your iPhone.

In addition to reading and responding to messages, for the first time WhatsApp on Apple Watch will now support many requested features:

• Call notifications: You can see who’s calling without needing to look at your iPhone.
• Full messages: You can read full WhatsApp messages on Apple Watch — even long messages are visible directly from your wrist.
• Voice messages: You can now record and send voice messages.
• React to messages: We’ve added the ability to send quick emoji reactions to messages you receive.
• A great media experience: You’ll see clear images and stickers on your Apple Watch.
• Chat history: You can see more of your chat history on screen when reading messages.
• This is just the start of making WhatsApp on your Apple Watch an even better experience. As always, your personal messages and calls remain private with end-to-end encryption. We look forward to delivering even more useful functionality for people with Apple Watch in the future.

*The new WhatsApp Apple Watch app requires Apple Watch Series 4 or later, running watchOS 10 or later.
