In order to provide users with simple access to the instant messaging software right from their wrists, Meta-owned WhatsApp has announced the introduction of its services to Wear OS smartwatches, according to NDTV.

A new integration was first launched in the WhatsApp beta version and is now accessible to all users. Users may respond swiftly to messages without using their cellphones thanks to this integration’s support for a number of crucial features. There hasn’t been any official word from the messaging service, which is owned by Meta, regarding the prospective launch of WhatsApp for watchOS, Apple’s wearable operating system.

According to the publication’s claim, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg made the eagerly awaited Wear OS announcement on Wednesday. Your Android smartwatch must have Wear OS 3 in order to be able to access WhatsApp. Users are now able to start new chats with others and reply with text, emoji, or audio messages thanks to this integration.

Users can easily respond to messages while on the go, even over LTE connections, thanks to the feature that also includes receiving calls via the smartwatch and reading notifications.

The app reportedly went live as a stable version right before Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event in South Korea. Beta testers reportedly had access to the app back in May. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 and Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, as well as new foldable phones and an S-series tablet, are expected to be revealed by Samsung at the event.

There hasn’t been any official word from WhatsApp on the anticipated release of a watchOS app, which would give Apple Watch users access to the well-known messaging service. In May, Meta had already stopped providing support for its Messenger watchOS app. Currently, watchOS WhatsApp users must utilize third-party apps, which may cause privacy and security problems.

According to the source, you can quickly link your smartwatch to your smartphone’s WhatsApp account after downloading WhatsApp for Wear OS version 2.23.14.81 onto your smartwatch.

The app will then sync your recent conversations from your phone to your wearable device. The Wear OS version of WhatsApp uses end-to-end encryption to maintain the security of chats, voice messages, and other content, much like the Android and iOS versions do. This makes sure that only the sender and intended receiver can access the contents of the communications.
