WhatsApp comes to smartwatches with Android Wear
One of the reasons why the application WhatsApp is the most widespread and used worldwide is because be present on all mobile platforms From the first terminals with Internet connection to the latest smart watches Y it's that they don't want to pass up the opportunity to deliver instant messages to the user's wrist. That is why there is already a new version of WhatsApp with support for Android Wear, the platform for devices that dress as Google
This new feature comes via an update to the beta version of WhatsApp for the Android platform That is, your version of tests that is distributed through the official website and not through Google Play This recent update offers the possibility of bringing notifications of new messages received directly to the user's wrist, through their smart watch with Android Wear Something that could revolutionize the field of messaging and push further towards success this platform of dressing devices
In this way, users with a Android Wear device that download this version beta of WhatsApp can directly receive your messages on the wrist.But not only that. In addition to being able to review the notifications, just click on any of these messages to respond by dictating what you want to send With this, it is not necessary to touch the handset or take it out of your pocket at any time to use this messaging application. All this with the design and operation of Android Wear
However, there are still many issues to be polished why use WhatsApp from the watch is convenient and simple. Thus, this new version does not save all notifications of received messages And, if you are not constantly attentive, message notifications end disappearing from the clock display after a certain amount of time waiting. Something little or nothing useful for this messaging tool. In addition, there is another even more striking weak point.This is the impossibility of accessing the message history or the conversation itself. In other words, from the watch you can only know thelast message received, without being able to go back in time to contextualize the conversation.
But don't forget that this is a trial version and, therefore, an approximation of what it would be like to have WhatsApp on the wrist. Something that still has many issues to polish and improve, but that seems to be fully functional. At least to answer messages instantly without even touching the terminal, just by tapping on the screen of the smart watch.
The new version of WhatsApp with support for Android Wear It has already been made available to anyone who wants to try it.It's free, and just download it to a Android device from the official WhatsApp website Of course, it is possible that its operation presents a fault or is not as reliable as expected. The rest of the users must wait patiently for WhatsApp to launch a new definitive version through Google Playto enjoy these features.
