Available on watches powered by Wear OS 3, users no longer need their phone with them to stay connected and can respond to friends and family using their voice, emoji, quick replies or text.
“We look forward to bringing WhatsApp to more devices in the future,” the company said.
Users will also be able to respond with voice messages, emojis, regular text and quick replies.
If they have an LTE-enabled Wear OS 3 watch, they’ll be able to respond to messages without a smartphone nearby.
According to reports, the release of the Wear OS app now builds momentum for the Samsung ‘Galaxy Unpacked’ event next week, in addition to making Wear OS more attractive to the billions of active WhatsApp users.
