For those of you who can’t read WhatsApp messages or reply on you Apple Watch, I have just found a simple solution to the problem..
Go to your iPhone Settings, then open the Notifications tab, scoll down and open the Whatsapp tab, then set your Show Preview to “Never”. Still using your iPhone, exit Settings and open your WhatsApp application, go to your in-app Settings. Open Notifications and set the ‘Show Preview‘ to ON. That’s it!
This ensures that you receive Whatapp messages to your Apple Watch which you can read and reply to. Your Apple Phone with receive notifications also, but there is no preview.
