Garmin has introduced a WhatsApp app for select smartwatches, allowing users to read messages, reply with a built-in keyboard, and send reactions or emojis without needing a phone. The app, available through the Connect IQ Store, supports devices across various Garmin lineups and maintains WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption. This marks the first third-party messaging app on Garmin's platform and opens the door for more services to come.
