WhatsApp has finally rolled out its much-anticipated official app for the Apple Watch, delighting users who have long relied on workarounds for message notifications and replies. Available globally from November 4, 2025, the dedicated smartwatch app marks a major milestone for iPhone and Apple Watch owners. Key Features Full Messaging: You can read full WhatsApp messages, view more chat history, and send fast emoji reactions—all without your iPhone. Voice Notes: Record and send voice messages directly from your Apple Watch, bringing hands-free convenience to quick chats. Call Notifications: See who’s calling you on WhatsApp right from your wrist. No more pulling out your phone just to check incoming calls. Clear Media & Stickers: Preview and view images and stickers on the watch’s display, optimized for clarity and quick viewing. Privacy: All communications are end-to-end encrypted, ensuring that your chats and calls remain private. Compatibility: Requires Apple Watch Series 4 or newer running watchOS 10 or later. How to Install Update WhatsApp on your iPhone, open the Watch app, and you'll see WhatsApp ready for installation under ‘Available Apps’. Once installed, log into your account and enable notifications to start using WhatsApp on your wrist. Why It Matters Before this launch, Apple Watch owners could only reply to WhatsApp notifications or use limited third-party apps. This official version now integrates most core features for seamless messaging, making the Apple Watch a truly independent WhatsApp companion.
