Snapchat is now available on the Apple Watch, letting users reply to messages right from their wrist.
Snapchat’s New Apple Watch App Brings Quick Messaging to Your Wrist
Snapchat just made a big move for Apple Watch users: it finally launched a native watchOS app. For the first time ever, you can now use Snapchat directly from your wrist, no iPhone required for quick replies.
The app is designed with simplicity in mind, focusing on one core feature: messaging. While many social apps have avoided building full-featured Apple Watch experiences, Snapchat is taking a smarter, more streamlined approach.
According to Snap’s announcement, the new Apple Watch app allows users to:
- Preview incoming messages
- Reply using the Keyboard, Scribble, or Dictation
- Send quick emoji reactions
- Tap “here” to let friends know you’ve arrived at a meetup spot
It’s a subtle but smart update. Whether you’re out for a run, stuck in a meeting, or just don’t want to pull your phone out, the app makes it easy to stay connected with minimal distraction.

Until now, Snapchat users could only view message notifications on their Apple Watch, with no way to respond unless they grabbed their iPhone. This update changes that, turning the Apple Watch into a true messaging companion for Snapchat fans.
It’s exciting to see a major platform like Snapchat finally embrace Apple Watch in a meaningful way. The app doesn’t try to do everything, it just focuses on helping you stay in touch quickly and easily.
No word yet on whether Stories or camera features will ever come to watchOS, but for now, messaging is a strong and welcome start.
