WhatsApp has finally rolled out full support for Wear OS smartwatches. It was previously on the beta version for a few months, and the finalized build of the application for Wear OS devices is officially out.
That means you can now install the WhatsApp app on your smartwatch and get into texting and sending voice messages while you are on the go. This will definitely enhance your messaging experience on the platform.
What Can You Do On WhatsApp Wear OS Application
In order to install WhatsApp on your smartwatch, you must first ensure it is on Wear OS 3. The support for the application is limited to this version of the OS. And it does not work on the previous versions.
But if you have a Wear OS 3 smartwatch, you install the app from the official website or Google Play Store. You can get the app ready in just a few minutes. And once you install it, you can start new conversations, send voice messages, use emoji, reply to texts, and take calls from your smartwatch.

That said, WhatsApp plans to bring support for Wear OS 4 when it finally lands on smartwatches. And as you know, the Galaxy Watch 6 and Watch 6 Classic are about land later this month.
