WhatsApp has recently launched a new app for Wear OS 3, which enables users to utilize the instant messaging service directly from their Wear OS-powered smartwatches. At present, the feature is only available for beta testers of the Android app. Some of the smartwatches that support Wear OS 3 and can run this app include the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and 5 series, Pixel Watch, Fossil Gen 6, and other compatible devices.
WhatsApp has recently introduced a new app for Wear OS 3 that can be accessed via the latest beta version 2.23.10.10 for Android. Those who want to try out this app can join and become a beta tester. However, it's important to note that both the phone and the watch should have the app version 2.23.10.10 or later to function properly. Once set up, users can enter an eight-digit code from their watch into the phone app to sync chats securely with end-to-end encryption.
This new WhatsApp app for Wear OS 3 has all the essential features, including the ability to send messages from the smartwatch directly. However, it's not possible to start a new chat if the user has never sent a message to the WhatsApp contact before. The Wear OS app displays a simple list of recent contacts, a settings menu, and two tiles for WhatsApp Contacts and WhatsApp Voice Message. The former allows the user to jump to a contact, while the latter lets the user start recording a voice message quickly.
Moreover, the WhatsApp for Wear OS app allows users to scroll through old conversations and reply to messages using voice messages or a system keyboard. When scrolling through group chats, the user can see a list of "People in this conversation." The stable version of this app is expected to be released soon, and it appears to be a useful feature for those who want to send messages quickly from their smartwatches.
