Given that there is no official WhatsApp app for Wear OS, this is especially useful. This latest update allows you to forgo your device so long as you’re paired and within range. Previously, there was a workaround that meant accepting WhatsApp voice calls would open on your paired device rather than a Wear OS watch with an “Answer call on phone” option. Calls appeared as a fully native option with no separation or distinguishing logo to indicate that it was from WhatsApp - which may be a reason that this has not been spotted earlier. In our case, while paired with the Pixel 6, this was not visible. This icon follows the One UI theming, which indicates that this may only appear when paired with a Samsung Galaxy device.
However, in their case, it seems this is distinguished from a standard voice call by way of a WhatsApp logo under the contact information. Reports on Wear OS subreddit show that even some Galaxy Watch 4 owners are able to take WhatsApp voice calls on their wrist too but with WhatsApp beta version 2.22.19.11. This appears as a native call, but it seems that this is not limited to the latest Galaxy Watch cohort. While the pool of Wear OS 3 smartwatches is quite limited at this stage, you can now take WhatsApp voice calls on your wrist should you have a compatible wearable.Īfter updating WhatsApp beta to version 2.22.19.12, we have been able to take voice calls on the recently released Galaxy Watch 5.
