However, there are a few ways to use your Wear OS wristwatch to access WhatsApp. How? In this post, we'll discover out:

WhatsApp does not currently provide this feature. However, pairing the wristwatch with the phone in your possession (on which you must have previously established WhatsApp) is sufficient to display the received notifications as well as the content of the messages.
To begin, connect your new wristwatch to your current smartphone. To match, you must download the wearable app straight from the Play Store. After successfully connecting both devices, proceed with following procedures.
When you go to the home screen, slide to the left to see any incoming messages.
Step 1: Navigate to the ‘Setting’ option and select ‘Manage notification’.
Step 2: Now you must ensure and activate the WhatsApp notification.
Step 3: After that, you have to go with your watch and connect your WhatsApp account to watch directly.
Step 4: When you eventually reach the home screen, scrolling to the left will see any incoming messages.
Step 5: Finally, you can access WhatsApp and read all incoming messages effectively.
