Whatsapp on watch

[Tracey1983]

Hi 

Can anyone tell me how you can use whatsapp on a Samsung watch. There does not seem to be an app you can download so you can use whatsapp on it. Sometimes messages on whatsapp come through and I can hit reply if they come up but there is no way of managing them or writing a message.

Hi @Tracey1983   It is not actually possible to install whatsapp directly, users need to sync and pair with their  device and  activate the WhatsApp notifications. At present  it is not possible to access all the Whatsapp functions via the watch.

You can sideload whatsapp and also Google contacts apps to your watch if you want standalone whatsapp for your watch. These are official apps but not made for wear os so you have to sideload them. You can make calls and send and receive messages etc although as its not set up for the watch it isn't perfect from a layout perspective.
