Snapchat has finally arrived on the Apple Watch, after the company launched a new app for the Apple Watch, expanding its platform beyond phones and browsers.
The app is not a full-fledged version of Snapchat but a simplified one focused on messaging.
It lets users preview incoming messages directly on their watch’s screen and respond to chats straight from their wrist without pulling the phone out of their pocket.
Users can preview incoming messages directly on their watch’s screen, a feature that was previously available through iPhone notification mirroring.
However, the new app adds interactivity as users can now respond to chats straight from their wrist using the watch’s tiny on-screen keyboard, scribbling out letter by letter or dictating using voice-to-text.
Snapchat said,
Snapchat is the seamless way that more than 900 million people communicate with their friends and family, and we’re making it easier for Snapchatters to bring their conversations with them on the go with Snapchat now available on Apple Watch.
The company added that it is already seeing its community enjoy using Snapchat across surfaces like tablets and the web.
