WearOS was previously only enabled to end WhatsApp voice calls. They will be able to respond to WhatsApp voice calls from their wrist after the latest upgrade. However, this is only for taking calls. WhatsApp calls are still not possible to make on WearOS 3.


The user experience on WhatsApp is being improved across a variety of devices. A function that would allow users to send messages to themselves via linked devices is also reportedly being developed by the corporation. With this upgrade, users who attempt to connect to WhatsApp from a different mobile device will be able to see their own number.


Both iOS and Android phone users are anticipated to receive it. As per the reports, WhatsApp is also developing a new "Report Bugs" section that would appear in the app's settings. Currently, the chat app provides a "contact us" option that users can use to report any app-related problems to the business.


Users will be able to send bug reports via the new section in a manner similar to what we see on Facebook. Users might report bugs by including optional images and a description.
