There is an official WhatsApp app. It’s available now for free on the Garmin Connect IQ Store. WhatsApp is primarily a chat platform, so this new app allows users to read and reply to messages, send emojis, and understand chat history.
The app also lets users accept or reject incoming calls from the platform, without leaving the smartphone. This is WhatsApp, so messages are end-to-end encrypted.
As mentioned earlier, this is not available for every Garmin watch. It is compatible with select Forerunner, Venu, Vivoactive and Fenix watches. The Connect IQ Store should be able to tell if your particular model can handle the app.
This is the latest smartwatch platform to get WhatsApp. Meta released one late last year. Previously, Apple Watch users had to mirror iPhone notifications to respond to WhatsApp messages directly from the device.
