Android Wear support is popping up left and right. Developers have realized the true value Google is providing with its wearable platform. One of the greatest uses for Android Wear is the ability to handle notifications without having to take out a phone and check the notification tray. Noticing this, WhatsApp has added Android Wear support in a beta update.

As expected, this new support for Android Wear allows users to reply to messages by speaking. After all, that is almost the key selling point to an Android Wear device — you almost never have to touch it. in addition to providing a preview of an incoming message, WhatsApp will provide a ‘+1 more' button to show the next message in line.
