Since 2017, WatchChat is the fastest and most reliable app that allows you to send and receive WhatsApp messages on your Apple Watch. To offer the widest range of features and up-to-date technology the app has been updated more than 60 times in the past 3 years and we will continue to do so.
WatchChat is a third-party application that allows you to access your WhatsApp chats and group chats directly from your Apple Watch. With just a simple scan of a QR code, you can enjoy all the features of WhatsApp on your watch, including voice messages, keyboard replies, dictation, and more.

One of the great things about WatchChat is that it respects your privacy and does not collect any personal data. Setting up the app for the first time is a quick and easy process, with just four simple steps. Once set up, you can use the app for free forever, but there is also an option to purchase a subscription to support the app's further development. This subscription grants access to additional features such as the "Contacts" and "Status" sections.
The app is constantly being updated, with over 70 updates since its release in 2017. The developer is always open to suggestions for further development and encourages users to reach out with any issues or ideas. It's important to note that as a third-party app, the available features and functionality may change as WhatsApp updates their platform.
If you do choose to purchase the subscription, there is a free trial period of 3 days and the subscription is billed annually. The price is equivalent to about 5 USD. You can manage and cancel your subscriptions through your account settings on the App Store.

As this is a 3rd-party-app, I would really appreciate if you had suggestions for further development so I can take your ideas into consideration. If you encounter issues while using the app, don't hesitate to contact me, I am more than happy to help.
Please keep in mind that, as the app isn’t officially affiliated with WhatsApp, available features and functionality are subject to change. To keep up with everything, the app has been updated more than 70 times since its release in 2017 - I am always looking for ways to offer new features or improve the existing ones.
You can use the app for free forever, but if you want to support the app's further development, the "Support WatchChat Development" subscription CAN be purchased for free users to access the "Contacts" and "Status" sections and will grant access to future additions. After the free trial period, if offered, the subscription automatically renews with the price and duration given in the purchase button unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at the confirmation of purchase. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period. YOU CAN MANAGE AND CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS BY GOING TO YOUR ACCOUNT SETTINGS ON THE APP STORE AFTER PURCHASE. Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when the user purchases a subscription to that publication, where applicable.
As of January, IF you want to sign up for the subscription, the free trial period is 3 days, it is billed annually and the price is about the equivalent of 5 USD.
