Problem solved. I read in xda people suggest to download latest version from whatsapp website. Mine was 2.18.79 and no update in play store but whatsapp website is 2.18.87. Installed the apk and now can reply. Maybe your whatsapp is already in latest version.

There's a 39mb update for gear s3. Battery life and bluetooth connection improvement.

If you mean answering calls using the watch, like gear s3, there are wear os devices that can do that from at least 2 years ago. My zenwatch 2 can receive and answer calls. I know huawei watches, at least some of them are able to do that too. There must be few more but I've stopped following wear os hardware, so not really sure.

No need to connect to phone and Internet. Can do up to 10 transactions without connecting to phone. Reward points and transactions will be synced once there's Internet connection.

Can't check multiple whatsapp messages from same person. It's tizen limitation. Can only read the last message. But reply should be ok.

I can still reply. I just tried and no problem. Gear apps you mean from Galaxy apps store? There area few but from 3rd party. I meant out of the box from tizen, it's still their limitation. But there must be some way from them to make it available cause when I paired my phone to both android smart watch and gear s3 at the same time, I can read all the messages including the ones that I've read, not only the new incoming ones. Lol.

Btw I'm using gear s3, if it makes any difference.

Galaxy watch will be available available for preorder next week. Rm1199 and rm1299. Not bad for the price. But they took out mst, dont know why, and my gear s3 is not much different from it. Most likely will pass.

My only concern with the 46mm galaxy watch is how it looks. It combines previous s3 classic and frontier, and ends up neither here nor there. Not rugged enough and not classic enough. It looks a bit like a toy the black & silver colour. I wish they offer the 42mm colours on the 46mm variant too. Other that that, it should be a solid watch which can lasts for quite a while if you don't die die need Google now for voice control. I'm still using my gear s3 on almost daily basis.

Finally can read all whatsapp messages without 3rd party app. But we still can't initiate whatsapp message right?

Yea. Definitely much better. Can read all messages instead of the last one only.

My s3 got it's fair share of scars too. Luckily it's the classic version, so they are not too visible. Lol.

Can read all the whatsapp messages already in tizen 4.0. Best update ever!

Luckily most of the database / community / posters now shifted to mewe. I don't know if they still have the old ones cause i saved all that i like to my pc, but new ones are posted there.

Anybody still using gear s3? My s3 classic was running fine until i after I forgot to charge it for few days. Now it just won't charge. Don't know can get it repaired or not. I was still using it with watch 4 as i like how it looks.
