Overview
- The app is available only to selected TestFlight testers, with no public release date announced by Meta.
- Testers report a full chat list on the watch, the ability to compose new messages, and replies via on‑device typing or voice dictation.
- Voice notes can be recorded and sent from the watch, and users can view photos and videos and send emoji reactions.
- The app operates as a companion linked to an iPhone, connects automatically without scanning a QR code, and functionality drops if the phone is out of range.
- Use requires watchOS 10.0 or later, extending WhatsApp’s smartwatch push that began with its Wear OS app in 2023.
