Sleeping Pokémon aren't just the latest additions to Garmin smartwatches. The latest app supported on select wearables is Meta's WhatsApp. You can now quickly reply to chats by typing on a tiny keyboard, which supports emojis, on your smartwatch's screen or by using canned messages. However, there is no voice note support or the option to transcribe spoken audio to text.

According to Forbes, the app can show you your 10 most recent chats or group chats. It is also only supported on more recent Garmin devices. If your watch is supported, the app is available for download on the Garmin Connect IQ app store.
