JAKARTA WhatsApp, a messaging platform under Meta, is testing its app on a new device. The platform is known to be testing a dedicated app for Apple Watch.

Launching from WABetaInfo, this application is being tested via TestFlight. This is good news for users who have long been waiting for an upgrade to WhatsApp notifications on wearable devices.

The Apple Watch app launched after WhatsApp confirmed password support on Android and iOS. The presence of this watch app is a big step in improving the user experience.

From what is seen on the testing site, this application is not independent because it depends on the iPhone connection. However, this app will bring most of the important features in the mobile app to the wrist.

The main features that will be present include chat searches, quick replies, and sending reactions in the form of emojis. With these various capabilities, Apple Watch users do not need to reply to WhatsApp messages via mobile applications.

The connection between WhatsApp on iPhone and Apple Watch is automatic. Users do not need to scan the QR code to connect their WhatsApp account as long as the watch is connected to the iPhone.

The app on Apple Watch will show a special indicator on the screen to notify the status of the watch connection, be it being synced, connected, or disconnected from the iPhone. Once the connection is connected, the user can see the entire chat list.
