WhatsApp Launches Apple Watch App

This past Tuesday, WhatsApp announced on their blog that they were launching a version of the popular messaging app for the 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.

Prior to the release of an official app for the Apple Watch, WhatsApp users were able to view and reply to messages on their watches, but that was about the extent of what they could do.

However, the new WhatsApp app will enable users to receive call notifications, read full messages, record and send voice messages, react to messages, view chat histories, and have an improved media experience.

In order to install WhatsApp for the Apple Watch, users will have to have an Apple Watch Series 4 (or newer) running watchOS 10 or later.
