WhatsApp has introduced its official Apple watch app that lets users receive and send messages right out of their wrist. Through the new rollout, users can control chats, voice notes and view media without the need of unlocking their iPhone.
Full-text reading and reactioning to emojis and the ability to record voice notes are the new features of the Apple Watch version of WhatsApp. The app allows users to view notifications on messages, respond to text messages, and preview media files. The integration works on Apple Watch Series 4 or later, running watchOS 10 or newer.
The update is compatible with the most recent WhatsApp on iPhone. A user is able to use WhatsApp without having an iPhone close by, although a first time connection is required. The application allows end-to-end encryption and privacy of chat is not compromised.
Meta ensured that WhatsApp Apple Watch will be launched progressively in all international markets, including in Pakistan. The app will serve to increase usability among users who use Whatsapp in their daily life, both personal and business.
According to Tech analysts, this launch will be a step towards the growth of the WhatsApp ecosystem on wearable devices. The essential messaging and audio functions are operational, although several of its functions such as video chats are inaccessible.
The update is also advantageous to users who like to reply in a hurry to a workout or an individual traveling without checking their phones. As a user in Pakistan where WhatsApp has been the most popular communication channel, the new Apple Watch WhatsApp is flexible and convenient.
