dromo146! As of 12 May 2021, Whatsapp doesn't develop an app for the apple watch and has no plans to do so and Apple hasn't released Call Kit to third-party developers. Meaning, Third-party calls are not supported on the apple watch.


We do not have any solutions currently but There can be 2 solutions in the FUTURE

  1. Apple allows third-party developers to use the call kit and we receive calls directly on the apple watch.
  2. Whatsapp develops an app for the apple watch and shows the call as a notification on the apple watch as a workaround.

Thank You, Chikkus! I double-checked with that, and I spent a few days actually testing it out. I get notifications for WhatsApp messages and missed WhatsApp calls. However, I don't get notified of an incoming call. I contacted Whatsapp Support too with this matter, and I think that both Apple and Whatsapp are not keen on making it available anytime soon.
