Support to Apple Watch: WhatsApp finally supports Apple Watch, although we do not know exactly how far you push this support.When, in fact, it was shown only the "handoff", but could confirm that will soon be possible to receive a message on Apple Watch and at least open the conversation on the iPhone directly from the lock screen. In all likelihood, though, even if the times do not know, Apple Watch receive native app WhatsApp.

2. New GUI: after about two years since the last restyling for iOS, WhatsApp is finally working to modernize the graphics of its application. This time it will go to a design more similar to what we've seen on Android. In particular, on this issue we can already show a preview image.

Prices are 0.89 € for one year of service; € 2.69 for three years of service and € 4.49 for five years of service.
