WhatsApp now supports Android Wear

An update to the WhatsApp messaging app, brings support for Android Wear. The latter is the version of Android made for wearable devices, like a smartwatch for example. The update is not available from the Google Play Store, and must be obtained directly from a WhatsApp website, which you can reach by clicking on the sourcelink.

The features include stacked notifications, and message previews. You can respond to messages by voice, or by using already-made responses saying "Yes", "No", "HaHa" and "LOL".

There are some glitches to the update, but if you do own the LG G Watch or the Samsung Gear Live, you might want to give it a shot.
