Snapchat on Thursday announced that it was launching a WatchOS app to allow Apple Watch users to reach the social network on its wrist. With this new app, users can now use Snapchat in mobile, web, tablet and Apple Watch.
Users can now preview an upcoming message and also answer using keyboard, scribble, dictation or an emoji. The company says that the new app will allow users to explain their friend quickly as they meet in a restaurant or look down and send a quick answer to a run.
There was no way to answer them till now when you can already preview Snapchat messages on your Apple Watch by enabling them on your iPhone.
Snap wrote in a blog post, “The number of equipment we used in our daily life has increased.” “Already we see our community enjoying using Snapchat on surfaces including mobiles and webs, and makes it on our commitment to make Snapchat available in all the equipment you use, including warehouses.”
Thursday’s announcement is as a change in thinking for Snapchat, as Snap CEO Ivan Speigel said years ago that he was not very keen on the small screen of Apple Watch, seeing that people would probably like to see a picture on their phone instead of their watch.
Snapchat is now focused on using its WatchOS app, so that users are able to answer messages quickly to watch messages or videos.
With this launch, Snapchat has beaten rival messaging apps such as Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp by releasing a dedicated WatchOS app.
