The app is compatible with Apple Watch Series 4 and newer, running watchOS 10 or later. To use it, you’ll need a connected iPhone with WhatsApp installed and updated to the latest version, which began rolling out today.
Meta says the move reflects its ongoing effort to make WhatsApp “more personal, instant, and accessible — wherever you are.”
