WhatsApp Messenger is an essential social sharing app on every platform. These days almost all mobile users want it on their devices. The mobile platforms, iOS App Store, Android Play Store, Windows Phone Store, and Tizen Store all have WhatsApp in the library, making it easy for users to use it on their smartphones. Now the trend has come to smartwatches. In the last few years, the craze for smartwatches is so high that companies are making them with top-notch features.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Watch 4, Apple Watch Series 7, Fitbit Watch & Wear OS watches are a few examples to mention. Now customers want all their favorite apps on smartwatches, and WhatsApp Messenger is always on top of the list.

After the launch of the Apple Watch Series 4 & Series 5, most customers are asked how to use WhatsApp Messenger on the new Apple smartwatches and where to download it. Well, the WhatsApp app is not available in Apple Watch Store.

Like you can receive messages in a simple format and also you can reply to or delete them. Here are the simple steps to use WhatsApp on Apple Watch Series 4 & Series 5 wearables.
