2020. You get the message on WhatsApp on your wrist. You open the Apple Watch to read it and discard it. After a few minutes, you think about it better and decide to respond. He also looks at your watch. Click on the digital crown and look for the app. But you can't find it, because so far there is no WhatsApp for Apple Watch. You pull out your iPhone and type "OK" into the conversation. This summarizes the current status of the popular messaging app on the apple watch. One with no signs of change in the short term.
WhatsApp on Apple Watch, and neither expected nor expected
WhatsApp has never been about adopting new technology or adapting to new devices faster. This has been the case since the inception and acquisition of Facebook in 2014 did nothing to change the situation
Identify Encryption, traditional video calls and group calls, sticks, WhatsApp and video support the picture in the picture. Other small improvements such as sending private messages from groups or making notes from notifications, as well as other surprises such as adapting to the iPhone XS Max within just a few weeks of its launch.
Anyway, some good news They haven't been in the app in a while. From the iPad version, an app available from 2010, to Mac, in the absence of the official Apple Watch WhatsApp version, launched in 2015 (its app store went into effect in 2016). If there are no other types of devices we should add a long awaited blackout mode for WhatsApp.
Differences with other applications such as the Telegraph are obvious. Arguably, this messaging app has many features that are missing from WhatsApp. In addition to traditional night mode, it has versions for iPad and Apple Watch. The reason why is often compared to WhatsApp. Unfortunately, the scope and type of audiences working for both are very different. WhatsApp continues to dominate global use in many countries like ours.
An investigation into the oversight of the Facebook flight
The curious thing about the lack of support for devices like the iPad or Apple Watch is WhatsApp is that from time to time a trace goes up in their betas. Both the black mode and the iPad version have been seen in the past. In the first case, it's probably since the advent of iOS 13 and its black mode. Second, at least from April 2019 So, what is the reason for the delay?
A few weeks after the iPad version matured last year, Facebook announced his aim is to integrate his three platforms
For Facebook, the integration of their messaging platforms is a feasible one. The FTC is concerned that Facebook's adoption of Instagram and WhatsApp does not mean reducing competition in the communications market. In the event of a conflicting decision, the authorities may decide to divorce their parents. Integration like the one suggested by Facebook will make the task much more difficult.
It's likely that the development we've been waiting for will require the app to be made from scratch. And what she saw on Facebook included the opportunity to do it all at once. Pending the investigation by the FTC it can be after a delay in the deployment of new functions and types of other devices.
So here we are. 2020 and beyond the WhatsApp version for iPad or Apple Watch. Or in this case it may not be your fault at all.
