Here’s how you can link WhatsApp on iPad to your WhatsApp phone number and app: Read along to learn how this works, and in no time you’ll be using WhatsApp messenger on iPad. It would be nice for WhatsApp to have a native Apple Watch app, but until that is available, this might be an alternative to consider.Setting up WhatsApp on iPad is a matter of linking your WhatsApp number to the web client running on iPad, which may sound complicated but it’s actually quite simple.

In February, WhatsApp started beta testing a new voice call UI for iOS. The app pairs nicely with WristBoard, a $2.99 USD ($3.99 CAD) keyboard app for the Apple Watch from the same developer.Īccording to recent reports, WhatsApp is currently testing a new 2GB size limit for files shared via the app. WristChat is available for the Apple Watch on the App Store for $2.99 USD ($3.99 CAD). You’re limited to interacting with existing conversations. The app does have some limitations, though, chief among which is the fact that you can’t start a new WhatsApp conversation through it. The app even has built-in haptic feedback and customization options like choosing message bubble colours and whether or not you want to see your contacts’ profile pictures in the conversation list. WristChat supports all of the input methods you have on your Apple Watch, including dictation and Scribble. Once set up, you’ll see all of your recent conversations, and you can also send new messages and receive notifications for incoming ones. When you install WristChat on your Apple Watch, you need to first scan a QR Code with your phone to sync the app with your WhatsApp account - much like you have to do on WhatsApp Web. WristChat lets users access their WhatsApp conversations and send/receive messages on the platform, all from their Apple Watch.

WristChat is an Apple Watch app designed by indie developer Adam Foot that uses the WhatsApp Web API to bring WhatsApp access to your wrist. WhatsApp may not be officially available for the Apple Watch, but you can still bring the popular messaging platform to your Apple wearable with WristChat (via 9to5Mac).
