What is WhatsApp for wearables? How to download and use it on Apple Watch

WhatsApp is a messaging app that lets you send texts, images, audio, and video over the internet. After mobile and web versions, WhatsApp released a Wear OS dedicated app for smartwatch users, and here is how you can download and use the effective app on your Apple Watch.

It is worth noting that there isn’t any official way to run WhatsApp on watchOS devices. Eventually, one with an Apple Watch can only read and reply to texts without having the ability to send a new message. However, you can still try a few tips and tricks to bring this significant facility to your wrist.

How to download WhatsApp on your Apple Watch?

To initiate this process, you require a third-party app that will offer the same tweaks and benefits as WhatsApp on your Apple Watch, minimizing its overall elements to fit on the watch’s screen. In other words, you can use the official WhatsApp website through an unofficial app.

• Download WatchChat 2 from the App Store
• Launch official WhatsApp application on iPhone
• Open the Settings page of WhatsApp
• Select Linked Devices
• Click on Link a Device
• Launch the WatchChat2 app on the Apple Watch
• A QR code will show up > Scan it on Apple Watch using WhatsApp’s in-app scanner on iPhone.
• And Voila! Here you get the WhatsApp account in the WatchChat2 app on your Apple Watch, and your chat history will sync.

This will further enable you to scroll through chats, listen to voice notes, type replies, view images, and do much more on your wrist gadget.
