It’s clearly capable of showing me the image that has come through on a message. Sometimes the image comes through blurry. Why?
You must log in or # to comment.
It’s cause the watch doesn’t fully support WhatsApp
A limitation of the WhatsApp app.
Only Facebook/Meta can resolve that, but they have little interest in doing so.
This is obvious seeing that Messenger preview appears sharp.
They have no interest in doing so
Hey thats how I see without glasses!
If you’d like to see the images sent by friends, ask them to use iMessage with you. Apple Watch can show these :) there’s just no way of a workaround for WhatsApp images for now.
That’s not very helpful if they don’t have any Apple devices.
WatchChat2 allows images and videos to be seen. And can chat to the top 5 recent in your WhatsApp.
It has been like that for Whatsapp since ages ago…
Just Meta’s reluctance to give us a 100% working watch app/notification.
Probably to give you a reason to open the full app, which will give them more new info than just a look at the notification will do.
Its funny since the facebook messenger photos show up without any issues …. Same company…. Probably same dev team to…
That’s very funny to me since messenger app can no longer be added to the watch
Didn’t Zuckerberg want to merge all the messaging apps together? Don’t really know how that goes, i wonder if they just don’t put as much resource in WhatsApp now and wait for the merge.

Facebook messenger monetises the data it gets from everything you do in it. WhatsApp doesn’t, so Meta has no interest in investing in it.

for now
There’s a 3rd party WhatsApp that does work but it’s intermittent, the name of the app escapes me tho
Name of the alternative is watchchat
💚💚💚
WatchChat 2
I always thought that was a privacy feature.
Yeah it does this on my watch too! Stickers show up but not pictures
Me too on Apple Watch 9
Somone send your something rude you’re screwed lol
Because Meta is a bullshit company.
They want you to open WhatsApp on phone to receive more data from you. Geo location and stuff like that.
Another reason to not use WhatsApp garbage
Imagine thinking whatsapp is garbage 😂🤦🏽♀️
I use WatchApp for WhatsApp on mw AW.
The free version allows you to open the last 5 chats, you can also send voice message and see the pictures.
Same with WatchChat 2. Can see all the images and videos too
