WhatsApp just announced its official smartwatch app, built for Wear OS 3 or newer devices.
The app works almost like a standalone version, where users can reply others via quick replies, texts, voice messages, and emojis.
If your Wear OS 3 wearable comes with mobile data connectivity (like LTE), you can also respond to others without having your tethered phone on you.
Example of WhatsApp working on Wear OS 3.
You can download the Wear OS version of WhatsApp from the same Google Play Store link that carries the mobile version.
This feature is timely launched, with Samsung’s Unpacked event happening on 26 July 2023. The Samsung launch will likely feature a new Galaxy wearable based on Wear OS.
