Users are discussion about on Gear S3 WhatsApp support:

User 1: When can we expect full WhatsApp support on the Gear S3?

I frequently use WhatsApp and the current solution is far from perfect:

* Only last message shown

* Not able to adjust the canned messages

User 2: So it seems we are stuck with the fact that when someone sends you a message on WhatsApp and FB Messenger followed by a smile you will Always need to pick up your Phone to see what the message was. Because there is no freaking way of knowing what that was looking at the Gear S3.





User 3: I really wonder what the quality testing team of Samsung was saying/thinking when it happened to them on the Gear S3. The notification system on the Samsung Gear S3 is a mess and Samsung isn’t planning to get it fixed.
