How to use WhatsApp on Apple Watch
Many people have questions about whether can they use WhatsApp on Apple Watch. The answer is Yes. You can use your WhatsApp on your Apple watch but it can be tricky. So this guide is to help you through the process. These methods work with any Apple Watch series.
In this article, we’ll show you how to use WhatsApp on your Apple Watch in two different ways:
Method 1: Using the built-in WhatsApp notifications
Method 2: Using a third-party WhatsApp app
Using WhatsApp on Apple Watch with built-in WhatsApp notifications
This method is the simplest, but it has some limitations. You can only view and reply to individual messages, and you can’t see group chats or send images or videos.
To use the built-in WhatsApp notifications, you’ll need to enable them on both your iPhone and your Apple Watch.
On your iPhone:
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap Notifications.
- Scroll down and tap WhatsApp.
- Make sure that Allow Notifications is turned on.
On your Apple Watch:
- Open the Watch app on your iPhone.
- Tap My Watch.
- Tap Notifications.
- Scroll down and tap WhatsApp.
- Make sure that Mirror iPhone Alerts From is turned on.
Once you’ve enabled notifications, you’ll start receiving WhatsApp alerts on your Apple Watch. To view a message, tap on the notification. To reply, you can use one of the following methods:
- Use Siri: Say “Hey Siri, reply to my last WhatsApp message” and then speak your reply.
- Use Quick Replies: Tap on one of the pre-written replies, such as “OK” or “Thanks.”
- Draw a reply: Swipe right on the notification and then draw your reply with your finger.
Using a third-party WhatsApp app
Third-party WhatsApp apps offer more features than built-in notifications, such as the ability to view group chats, send images and videos, and even make and receive audio calls.
There are a number of different third-party WhatsApp apps available, but we recommend WatchChat 2. It’s free to use, and it offers a wide range of features.
To use WatchChat 2, you’ll need to install it on both your iPhone and your Apple Watch.
On your iPhone:
- Open the App Store.
- Search for WatchChat 2.
- Tap Get to install the app.
On your Apple Watch:
- Open the App Store on your Apple Watch.
- Tap the Search tab.
- Search for WatchChat 2.
- Tap Get to install the app.
Once you’ve installed WatchChat 2 on both your iPhone and your Apple Watch, you’ll need to connect the two devices.
On your iPhone:
- Open WatchChat 2.
- Tap Connect.
- Scan the QR code that appears on your Apple Watch.
Once your devices are connected, you’ll be able to use WatchChat 2 to send and receive WhatsApp messages from your Apple Watch.
To view a message, tap on the Messages tab. To reply, you can use one of the following methods:
-
- Use Siri: Say “Hey Siri, reply to my last WhatsApp message” and then speak your reply.
- Use Quick Replies: Tap on one of the pre-written replies, such as “OK” or “Thanks.”
- Draw a reply: Swipe right on the message and then draw your reply with your finger.
- Type a reply: Tap on the Text button and then type your reply.
You can also use WatchChat 2 to send images and videos. To do this, tap on the + button and then select the image or video that you want to send.
