In the previous few quarters, Garmin increased its shares in the wearable market. It is the result of the company’s new functions and the wide support for third-party apps. The Garmin Fenix series watches are so advanced that you can receive all the messages. We are not saying you can fully use the WhatsApp app on the wearables, but you can receive the messages, view them, control them, or delete them. Here is a guide for new users to use WhatsApp on Garmin Fenix 7 & Fenix 8 watches.
Also, the Fenix 7 & Fenix 8 series can get WhatsApp messages on the main display to stay updated in your friend circle or your work. All these Garmin watches support advanced techniques in replying to apps & notifications.
It is not the first device to get this treatment as the previous watches are also rich in receiving app messages. WhatsApp is one of the essential apps for many customers on smartphones and smartwatches. With over 2 billion users, it is the most downloaded app in the Apple App Store & Google Play Store.
