4 easy steps to set up:

- open WhatsApp
- in WhatsApp, go to "Settings" > "WhatsApp Web/Desktop" > "Scan QR Code"
- scan the QR code that will appear on your Apple Watch after 10-30 seconds
- if a popup comes up, just try again, it will work out eventually :)
Please keep in mind that this is the first version (+6 updates within the first 21 days) - I need your feedback for future development.

So far, works w/ Apple Watch 4, iOS 13.1

I tried some of the other free alternatives and couldn’t get them to work. I’m surprised such a popular messenger service doesn’t offer a native client for the Apple Watch. Having said that, I haven’t noticed any recent reviews and, if you’re like me, wanted something recent that gave a little more indication of what’s working. I set it up in a matter of seconds, much like the other alternatives, which reaffirmed the other ones didn’t work. This one populated the messages and I’m able to scroll through. I wish there were ways to better show the different groups (IE bold/different font), but guessing Apple causes some limitation, perhaps. I use WhatsApp a lot, and for me, just having something display the messages I see on a group chat is worth it. I’ll update the review once I use it more.
Great App and...

The developer actually answered my email within a few hours. I love this app. It gets the job done! I can see when messages comes in on the iwatch. I had initially a connection problem, I emailed the developer and he solved it for me! Highly recommend!
A fine and functional App

It was irritating to learn that the WhatsApp app folks have not yet modified their App to be fully compatible with the new Apple Watch I just purchased. Getting WhatsApp notifications on my watch is and was something I want and need. Fortunately I discovered WatchChat 2. It pretty much does everything I need and want it to - and it works well. A huge plis is being able to get thoughtful and quick feedback from the developer. I had a few questions regarding installation, use of, and access to the WatchChat app - and the developer answered them quickly, thoughtfully and articulately. Bottom line - not only is this a functional and incredibly useful app - but customer and technical service and help directly from the developer make it a great one, in my opinion. I don’t normally take the time to write detailed reviews - but the quality and usefulness of this app - combined with the intellogent and helpful customer support from the developer - mean a lot to me. I’m seriously recommending it.
Waste of money

I downloaded the app and paid $2.99, to app doesn’t appear on my watch. Just waisted my money.
Best one for Apple Watch

I tried FIVE (5) different apps (not worth of mentioning) for this purpose besides this one, and this one is indeed the best one I found; some of the other ones didn’t even connect to WhatsApp through the QR code (and I knew what I was doing). There is room for improvement, but this one is the best to stick to. If you notice, this one has had more updates that the other ones (10 in the past 6 months!) meaning that its developer has paid attention to this App. Knowing that this is a third party App, its developer has done a great job considering that this is not an oficial App, meaning that he relays on other resources that must be web-base compatibility, but in the mean time there is this difficulty where Apple Whatches do not support internet browsers!! …but it works!!
It works!

I tried a different app. I could not get it to work. WatchChat worked right away. I had one question and when I emailed support, I received an answer that worked, very quickly. I am thankful I can now use WhatsApp on my Apple Watch. My belief is that it was worth the small cost.
Hello
Foxy D Production
This is the worse . Why would I have to open watsapp on my phone all the time so Message’s can refresh. Might as well I keep my original watsapp on my phone. I just waste my money. I have a cellular watch and I can’t even receive notifications while I’m away from the phone . Please fix this issue
