It’s clearly capable of showing me the image that has come through on a message. Sometimes the image comes through blurry. Why?

Another reason to not use WhatsApp garbage
Imagine thinking whatsapp is garbage 😂🤦🏽♀️
They want you to open WhatsApp on phone to receive more data from you. Geo location and stuff like that.
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.
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
If you’d like to see the images sent by friends, ask them to use iMessage with you. Apple Watch can show these :) there’s just no way of a workaround for WhatsApp images for now.
That’s not very helpful if they don’t have any Apple devices.
WatchChat2 allows images and videos to be seen. And can chat to the top 5 recent in your WhatsApp.
Its funny since the facebook messenger photos show up without any issues …. Same company…. Probably same dev team to…
Facebook messenger monetises the data it gets from everything you do in it. WhatsApp doesn’t, so Meta has no interest in investing in it.

for now
That’s very funny to me since messenger app can no longer be added to the watch
Didn’t Zuckerberg want to merge all the messaging apps together? Don’t really know how that goes, i wonder if they just don’t put as much resource in WhatsApp now and wait for the merge.

NSFW images
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
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
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.
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.
Yeah it does this on my watch too! Stickers show up but not pictures
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
Name of the alternative is watchchat
