WhatsApp, the popular chatting app, has officially launched its application for Wear OS smartwatches, making it accessible on all Wear OS-powered devices.
Fully Developed and Stable Release
After several months of beta testing, WhatsApp has now released the fully developed and stable version of its app for Wear OS smartwatches.
Enjoy WhatsApp on Wear OS 3
Users can now enjoy the convenience of using WhatsApp on their Wear OS 3 smartwatches. The app allows them to initiate new conversations, reply to messages via text, send voice messages, use emojis, and even accept calls – all directly from their wrists. Quick replies are also supported, making communication on the go easier than ever.
No Need for a Phone
If your Wear OS 3 smartwatch comes with its own mobile data connectivity, you can perform all these functions without having your phone nearby or connected to the smartwatch. Stay connected without any hassle.
Strategic Release Timing?
WhatsApp’s app release on Wear OS smartwatches comes just a week before Samsung’s Unpacked event. During this event, Samsung is expected to unveil its new Wear OS 3-powered smartwatches, including the Galaxy Watch 6 series. Is this timing merely a coincidence or part of a strategic move?
WhatsApp is not the only major app to support smartwatches. In May, Google announced that Spotify would be introducing new Tiles for its Wear OS app within the year. These upcoming features are expected to further enhance the range of third-party apps available on Google’s wearable platform.
