Overview

• Snapchat rolled out its first native Apple Watch app on June 5, enabling users to message directly from their wrists.
• The watchOS app allows users to preview incoming texts without marking them as read on mobile or web.
• Users can respond via the built-in keyboard, Scribble input, voice dictation or by sending an emoji.
• The app focuses solely on text conversations and does not support viewing images or video playback.
• The launch follows a wave of withdrawals from platforms such as Instagram, Slack and Uber, highlighting Snap’s wearable commitment.
