WhatsApp on Apple Watch

Hey

I transferred using iCloud to a new iphone and then synced my new Apple Watch. Not had one before so forgive me sounding really stupid. I cannot get WhatsApp to appear as an app option for my watch. I’ve uninstalled WhatsApp and reinstalled. Notifications are switched on etc. What am I missing?

It’s not appearing in the dock. Is that an issue?

Begin by installing the WhatsApp messaging platform on your Apple iPhone.

Next go to your iPhone Settings and select Notifications then WhatsApp Messenger.

Then activate the Allow Notifications and Show in Notification Centre option.

Open the Watch app from your Apple iPhone, then open Notifications in the Watch app.

From here you can view all Apple Watch-supported apps, so scroll down until you see the WhatsApp Messenger app then activate the notification button.

You can now receive every WhatsApp notifications on your Apple Watch

Some WhatsApp features cannot be supported due to the Apple Watch’s space restriction and tiny screen.

This method essentially configures your Apple Watch to mirror the app's notification alerts from your iPhone.
