The new WhatsApp app for Wear OS simply means more features. Until now, watch users on Wear OS could reply to WhatsApp messages as many smartwatches provided a reply option. With the new app, users can send voice messages.
Meta has rolled out a standalone WhatsApp app for Google s Wear OS smartwatch globally, a few months after beta testing. Users can now start new conversations, answer messages, and take VoIP calls directly from their wrists without the need for a connected phone.
Available on watches that run Wear OS 3, users will no longer need their phone with them to stay connected, and can respond to friends and family using their voice, emojis, quick replies or text.
While the stable version is expected to go official by the end of the year, the beta version of WhatsApp for Wear OS is already listed on the Google Play Store.
