Quick Answers
Do I need the app on my watch to receive notifications, such as WhatsApp?
No. Your iPhone sends notifications from apps such as WhatsApp to your watch once pairing is complete.
Can I reply to notifications from my watch?
No, you can't reply from your watch at the moment. Your iPhone sends the notification to your watch so you can read it, but it doesn't let non-Apple watches send a reply through it. To reply, open the app on your iPhone.
