WhatsApp has announced a new feature that allows Apple Watch users to receive voice calls directly on their wrist, as part of the platform’s efforts to expand its services on wearable smart devices.
A New WhatsApp Feature for Apple Watch
The company revealed that the new feature includes a dedicated interface for displaying incoming calls on the Apple Watch, with options to answer or decline calls directly from the wrist. Users will also be able to send quick replies when they are unable to answer.
According to WhatsApp, the feature is designed with a simplified interface tailored to the small screen of the watch, featuring clear control buttons that make managing calls easier without needing to use the phone. This enhances the user experience, especially while on the move or when accessing the phone is difficult.
Enhancing Communication on Wearable Devices
This update marks a significant step forward for the world’s most popular messaging platform, which previously limited Apple Watch support to basic notifications, message reading, and replies, without enabling voice or video calls.
The move comes amid growing demand for deeper integration of WhatsApp with wearable devices, aiming to provide a more seamless and flexible communication experience.
Release Date Still Unannounced
WhatsApp has not yet officially announced the release date of the new feature, as it remains part of the platform’s future development plans. The update reflects WhatsApp’s ongoing direction to enhance its Apple Watch app, following earlier features that allowed message reading, replies, and voice messages, but not direct voice call support.
