WhatsApp call via Wear OS smartwatch

WhatsApp is a very handy messaging service, and via the smartwatch you can read and reply to all your messages. However, when you receive a call via WhatsApp, you will not receive a notification on your smartwatch. However, this is going to change.

As with regular phone calls, it should also be possible to accept or reject an incoming WhatsApp call. The clue to this was found in the latest beta version of the messaging service. The functionality should work on smartwatches with Wear OS 3 and above. In any case, this means good news for owners of the Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 5.

It is now a feature in the beta version, it is not known when the feature will be widely rolled out.
