A new beta version of WhatsApp is now making the rounds, and several Galaxy Watch users say that the new version enables WhatsApp calls directly on the smartwatch.
To be precise, the latest beta version is available for the WhatsApp smartphone app.
The update (and app) is not available for Wear OS 3 smartwatches directly, but when installed on connected smartphones, it enables remote calls on wrist wearables running Wear OS 3, including the Galaxy Watch 4 and the Galaxy Watch 5.
The WhatsApp beta update to version 2.22.19.11 is rolling out gradually, and official availability details are missing. Plus, there’s no telling if the next public update will get this WhatsApp calling feature.
What is certain is that Meta developers are at least entertaining the idea of implementing this tool for smartwatch owners, so chances are that WhatsApp calls will be coming to Wear OS 3 smartwatches — including the Samsung Galaxy Watch family of devices — sooner rather than later.
