Since the Cupertino company launched the Apple Watch, there have been many needs that this device has been covering as it has increased its benefits. One of them is to be able to communicate with other people without having to take the iPhone out of your pocket. That’s exactly what we want to talk to you about in this post, what options you have to send and receive messages and how you can do it easily and without complications.
What limitations does it have?
The Apple Watch has certain limitations when it comes to being able to communicate by sending messages. The greatest handicap it has is that it is conditional on the developers of certain applications correctly and comfortably implementing certain ways that allow users to use the Apple Watch to send messages in a more comfortable and intuitive way.
The Apple watch has become for many users an indispensable device since it acts as a “filter” to know if the message that has just entered your iPhone really needs to be answered urgently or not. As we mentioned earlier, the Apple watch has certain obvious limitations when it comes to being able to communicate via writing with other people. We will tell you about them below.
- Some of the most popular messaging apps on the iPhone are not yet on the Apple Watch. For example WhatsApp , which only allows you to reply to messages without being able to create a new one.
- The absence of a keyboard to type, given the size of the screen, at many times makes it difficult for some users to respond to or send a message through the Apple watch.
- The size of the device is another handicap that it has.
So you can send messages through your Apple Watch
Although the Apple Watch has certain limitations to be able to use it when sending and receiving messages , obviously this is possible, and on many occasions and for many users it is a real convenience to be able to exchange messages without the need to use the iPhone.
The Apple device offers up to 7 different options to reply to or send a message to another person. As we have commented previously, unfortunately in some applications that do not have their own app for the Apple Watch, you can only respond to the messages that they send you, this is the case of WhatsApp, however, in others, such as Telegram or Apple’s own Messages, yes. You can be the one who starts a conversation at any time. Here we tell you what are the options you have when sending a message to another person.
- Send a smart reply . The Apple Watch whenever you receive a message and want to reply to it, it provides you with a series of intelligent quick responses based on the message you have received. To access them, you just have to scroll to see a list of useful phrases that you can use. Even through the Apple Watch settings you can add your own phrases.
- Dictate text . This is one of the most common options, all you have to do is say what you want the Apple Watch to transcribe to text to send it later.
- Create an audio clip . Obviously, in the same way that you collect your answer to transcribe it, you can also use it to send it directly in the form of an audio note, something that you can also do through the Walkie Talkie function of the Apple Watch.
- Despite the absence of a keyboard on the Apple Watch, you can write your answer by hand . To do this, you just have to press the icon in which a hand appears writing and write your message letter by letter on the screen of your watch.
- Send an emoji .
- Send a Memoji sticker.
