You can now install WhatsApp on your Wear OS 3 smartwatch
WhatsApp is officially rolling out to Wear OS smartwatches, The Verge reports. The launch of the app was announced by Meta on July 19, a couple of months after the company confirmed it would be bringing its app to the platform. At the time of the initial announcement, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg only mentioned that the app would be coming later this year. But he didn’t mention an exact time.
That time appears to be now as long as you have the right watch for it. The only requirement really is that your watch has to be running on Wear OS 3. Of which there are now more than a few. If you meet that requirement, then you should be able to install the app. Upon opening up the Play Store, users will likely be greeted with the message that “WhatsApp is now available,” and tapping on that message takes you to the app’s install page. There you’ll see a big blue “install” button. Tap that and let the watch do its thing.
WhatsApp for Wear OS 3 offers features you’d expect
As you’d expect the WhatsApp Wear OS 3 app comes in hot with the standard features. This includes starting new message threads and responding to existing threads. You can also use the app to make voice calls. So long as you either have your phone on you or you have an LTE model of your watch.
The app features voice message and emoji support as well. And quick replies are present too. So, a pretty full-featured smartwatch app. It was announced back at Google I/O this year that WhatsApp was finally coming to the platform. After users have been heavily requesting it for quite some time. And this is Google and Meta making good on the promise to bring the app forward.
It’s landing at a good time, too. As Samsung is rumored to launch its next Galaxy smartwatches in just over a week. Giving users another device with support all the latest Wear OS features.
