Anytime Anywhere App - WhatsApp changed the way we communicate.

WhatsApp will go in history as an App which change the way across the globe how we communicate. Just downloaded as a chat app to connect local friends planning weekend meetup. Now No international calling cards, all my family and friends, I call them via audio and video calls via WhatsApp. For Work, Professional Network, Professional Network, for connecting with people of same geographical area, same interest I manage more than 1500 different WhatsApp groups. WhatsApp you are amazing. I am still waiting for the feature when Admin can delete messages posted by spammers in groups and remove and delete a spammer from all groups with single click. Wrote to WhatsApp Team few times and still waiting for that Admin Privilege. Thanks WhatsApp, you have become “Anytime Anywhere App” for billions including me.

Never seen a more garbage communication app

Just to clarify I have been using WhatsApp for several years, if I had to guess it would be over 4 years, I have plenty of friends that use it and swear by it but I cannot fathom how frustrating it is to use sometimes. I came on here to express one thing and one thing only.

Many of my colleagues use this app to video chat and to send text. I have added many contacts using WhatsApp however when I try to send a message or call these new contacts i am left with only inviting them to use the app, rendering the app completely useless at times. Allow me to specify my problem.

Say for example I added a new phone number in my contacts list. I close the app to then open WhatsApp, I try to search for the new contact. I find the name, but when I try to send a message the only choice I have is to invite. This is mostly frustrating when I first add someone but I have contacts from a year ago that still need an invitation when they so clearly use the app on a daily basis. As long as this problem persists I don’t see myself using the app long term, if it wasn’t for this issue I would be ecstatic about the development. For now I’m disappointed and at a loss of words for how I would feel going forward.

Group management a painful flaw

Whatsapp is a wonderful app that I have used on a daily basis for years. but it has one abysmal defect. For years it has been difficult, if not impossible to easily list the groups that you are a member of. As a result, duplicate groups get made because people forget that a similar group had already been created in the past, and there is no easy way to quickly list and edit the groups you are member off. There are hacks you can find on the internet to get around this problem, but for heavy users like me who belong to dozens of groups, this is a source of endless frustration. This last version finally offers a partial workaround, that is that in the new communities section you can pretend to create a new community and see in the process a list of the groups to which you have admin privileges. But this is just another work around, and it does not show you the groups that you are only a member of. For such a mature program to lack such a basic feature passes understanding. If this was 1.0 version of the software I’d give it 4 stars. But for a program that’s been on the market for years, this omission is inexcusable, especially considering that competing platforms allow you to manage groups with ease.

The mass distribution of the popular messenger invariably raises questions about how to install WhatsApp on Apple Watch. For some users, the application refuses to carry out messages and calls, for others, the initial download made it possible to use all the functionality in full. To solve problems with the performance of the program, you need to take several steps without deviating from the instructions.

How to install WhatsApp on Apple Watch

The developers offer two installation methods.

Surface, via messages

This option allows you to receive alerts on the chronometer that would appear on a smartphone. For normal functionality, the gadget must be on the owner's wrist, and the display on the smartphone is locked. Otherwise, all notifications are automatically sent to iPhone.

How to install WhatsApp on Apple Watch

You can use the special Watch application, which is located on the first desktop screen by default, to set the clock. If the shortcut is missing, you can download it from the App Store and install it. It is also necessary to pair the smartphone and the watch (if the procedure has not been performed before). The last stage is the transition to the "Notifications" block through the "My Electric Clock" tab and the transfer of the WhatsApp slider to the active state.

Important! Setting up is not possible if the messenger is not installed on the phone.

When using this option, the user can read messages (the display will show the subscriber, the content of the notification and images) or respond to them using ready-made phrases, emoticons. Also, the developers have provided the possibility of voice dialing the answer.

Full-fledged, through the application

How to install WotSap on Apple Watch using the second method? Keep in mind that the previous method is almost perfect, but develops much more slowly than the official version of WhatsApp for Apple Watch OS. You can install it by launching the Watch program. Then you need to go to the "My electric clock" block (this menu item opens after creating a pair) and select the "Available programs" subsection. Near the version of "WhatsApp", click on the "Install" button and wait for the procedure to complete.

Important! If the messenger is not found during the specified actions, then the problem is that it is not installed on the smartphone.

After the procedure is completed, the user will be able to receive messages about incoming calls, answer them, use ready-made templates for correspondence and send emoticons. Additional advantages of use include:

  • access to old correspondence;
  • the ability to change personal information;
  • security enhancement - optional;
  • synchronization with accounts for a personal computer and smartphone.

At the request of the user, the sound accompaniment of messages can be changed. It can be selected from the installed directory or taken from the internal memory of the device.

Whatsapp application

WhatsApp features on Apple Watch

The program is a multifunctional text messenger that supports voice calls and allows subscribers to exchange entertainment content with each other (real time).

Installing and uninstalling Whatsapp for iPad and iPhone

Initially, device developers assumed that communication with family and friends would be supported by cellular and personal computers. But recently, following the requests of the owners of "apple" gadgets, the range of supported devices has expanded and the Apple chronometer operating system has been added to the registry.

Whatsapp on Apple Watch is similar to the application for laptops and smartphones. With it, the user can:

  • save the history of correspondence;
  • forward message;
  • edit your contact book;
  • set any melody for notification;
  • set up a banner or connect vibration.

Important! The chronometer functionality allows you to use the voice dialing option. Information is displayed on the display in a graphical form. This approach speeds up the messaging process and does not require manual text entry.

The only disadvantage of the device, some users consider the inability to call the subscriber. The messenger (when using a gadget) should be perceived as a secondary, and not the main client.

  1. In the main menu of the smartphone, you should find the label "What-sapp" or "Watch" - the application is obviously built in by the developers. If the icon is not found, then you need to go to the online store and download it.
  2. After opening the utility, you need to find the Vatsap program in the context menu - this is the only way to connect it to the chronometer.
  3. After downloading, its shortcut will automatically appear on the desktop of the chronometer.

two gadgets. If there is a separation of the smartphone and the device, then the information will only be sent to the phone. To check the activity, you need to turn on the device (by swiping up on the display) and try to find the corresponding shortcut in the Control Center. If the connection is working, then you need to change the mode in which the chronometer operates.

  • Blocking mode or enabled "do not disturb" functionality. In the first case, the label “lock” will be visible on the display, in the second - “crescent”. To disable the function, just make changes in the "Control Point". If the gadget is removed from the hand, then it is in an inactive state. Information will not be sent to such a machine.
  • Sleep mode. If the smartphone is in an active state, then no information will be sent to the second device. This feature is the idea of ​​the company's developers, which provides for sending notifications only when the iPhone is sleeping or locked.
  • Incorrectly set time zone and time. If the time on the smartphone is significantly different from the real one, then the feature can become a source of problems. To fix it, you need to go to "Settings" and find the subsection "Time and date", in the same place disable the "Autodetect time" functionality. After setting the correct data and selecting the correct time zone, the gadget must be restarted.
  • "Show content" function and message adjustment. If there are no notifications, you need to see if the functionality that displays the content on the device works. To fix it, you need to enter the "Settings" subsection and move to the "Lock and protection screen". From here, go to "Notifications on the display" and select "Lock screen content", in the drop-down registry, check "Display content". After the procedure, you should open "Messages" and check if the subsection "Display notifications" and "Sound" is enabled. If the parameter is inactive, then it must be enabled. In the additional adjustment menu, you should mark the priority for messages - “Mark as important” (on some devices it may be called differently).
  • Background data limitation. If the smartphone is not connected to a wireless network, then the use of the "Information Limit" functionality may cause the application to malfunction. To disable the option, you need to go to the main menu and move to the "Using information" subsection. Clicking on the adjustment will show if the utility is activated. When it works, you need to click on the "Disable restriction" block.
  • Energy saving mode. Most users do not use the battery saving system (unless it is automatically enabled by a discharged smartphone). Separate programs are able to transfer the device to this mode and upload secondary settings. Experts advise disabling the functionality for the messenger - this is the only way all important messages will be delivered in a timely manner. The change begins with entering the "Parameters" section and moving to the "Battery" block. There you need to find the item "Energy consumption" and click on "Details". If the program is in the "Power Optimization" registry, then you need to click on its shortcut and disable it.
  • Why messages are not coming to the clock

    Most users find a way to normalize the operation of the utility and get rid of constantly missed notifications. If the procedure for finding and correcting the causes of problems is carried out correctly, the messenger will begin to inform its owner about incoming SMS and calls in a timely manner, even if you switch it to silent mode.

    How to enable WhatsApp notifications on Apple Watch

    1. Launch the application on the device.
    2. Go to the "My electric clock" subsection and move to "Notifications".

    Adjustment allows you to disable messages from third-party programs. To do this, select a specific item and add the utility to the list of exceptions (by stopping the selected option). Many users like to customize the program more carefully: with the regulation of each application individually. The "Customs" block provides access to an additional user menu.

    Setting up notifications

    The Activity application displays a huge number of records for any of the scheduled events, tasks set, and progress achieved by the owner. At the time of debugging, the user himself can select the registry, in which some notifications will be activated, and unnecessary ones will be turned off.

    The calendar will remind you of planned events and holidays (previously indicated in it), and e-mail will remind you of letters received in the mailbox. Experts remind that system notifications from a smartphone cannot be systematized: they can be turned off or left active.

    Important! In the "Messages" section, you can change the signal of received SMS, the frequency of sending them to the device, and many other options.
