It’s clearly capable of showing me the image that has come through on a message. Sometimes the image comes through blurry. Why?
You must log in or register to comment.
Probably more likely for privacy. Imagine your friend sends one of those prank photos and you are in a work meeting and people see your watch when you go to check it.
If that was the case then clicking on it should make it visible but it won’t
Because Meta is a bullshit company.
Me too on Apple Watch 9
Another reason to not use WhatsApp garbage
Imagine thinking whatsapp is garbage 😂🤦🏽♀️
I always thought that was a privacy feature.
Hey thats how I see without glasses!
There’s a 3rd party WhatsApp that does work but it’s intermittent, the name of the app escapes me tho
WatchChat 2
Name of the alternative is watchchat
💚💚💚
Yeah it does this on my watch too! Stickers show up but not pictures
NSFW images
That’s because WhatsApp is in no way programmed to work on Apple watch.
The notification you see on your watch is mirrored from the notification on your iPhone lockscreen. That includes the very small preview if there is a photo attached. That’s what gets transferred to and displayed on the watch, just larger and thus blurry.
It has been like that for Whatsapp since ages ago…
Just Meta’s reluctance to give us a 100% working watch app/notification.
Probably to give you a reason to open the full app, which will give them more new info than just a look at the notification will do.
If it helps i go into the App Store every week to leave a poor review for not having an iPad app and watch app. Is not much. But I like to pretend it helps.
Yes
And the stickers it does show but then on the phone it’s the opposite way around; pictures it’ll show in notification center but with stickers it just shows ‘sticker’. It’s so weird I wish they’d fix that on both the phone and the watch
A limitation of the WhatsApp app.
Only Facebook/Meta can resolve that, but they have little interest in doing so.
This is obvious seeing that Messenger preview appears sharp.
They have no interest in doing so
