According to reports, WhatsApp is releasing an Android beta update that gives Wear OS 3 smartwatches voice call capability. Users of the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and the just-released Galaxy Watch 5 may now answer WhatsApp voice calls from their wrists according to the most recent update. According to reports, WhatsApp for Android beta versions 2.22.19.11 and 2.22.19.12 have the feature turned on by default. To identify calls from standard phone calls, WhatsApp's logo already appears on calls. On their Wear OS 3 compatible Galaxy Watch, users of the WhatsApp beta for Android 2.22.19.11 or higher will receive notifications of incoming calls from the app.
According to user claims on Reddit, WhatsApp's most recent beta release now makes it possible for Wear OS 3 smartwatches to receive WhatsApp audio calls. The feature is available for the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 5 with Wear OS 3.
According to a report by 9to5Google, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 may now receive WhatsApp audio calls thanks to WhatsApp for Android beta version 2.22.19.12. Nevertheless, some Reddit users have verified that the feature is accessible on the Galaxy Watch 4 running WhatsApp for Android beta v2.22.19.11.
For WhatsApp audio calls, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 5 display a separate user interface. According to screenshots posted on Reddit, WhatsApp's emblem is shown beneath the contact information for calls coming from the instant messaging service to distinguish it from regular calls. Sliders for Accept and Decline are displayed. According to reports, the Galaxy Watch 5 and Google Pixel 6 do not display the WhatsApp logo, indicating that the UI is the same as conventional calls.
According to the source, the new functionality, which is now only available to WhatsApp beta users, may be made available to the general public in the upcoming days. Before the final release, the feature is anticipated to see adjustments.
