Benefits of Having Snapchat on Apple Watch
Though the users might not be able to access all the features of Snapchat as they get on a mobile device, here are some of the actions that the users will be able to perform on Snapchat using an Apple watch.
Check Stories
The users will be able to check stories from their friends and other fellow users who are mutually following each other. But the users will not be able to see stories of all the celebrities they have followed on their Snapchat accounts.
In addition to the story, the users will be able to navigate across the maps on the Snapchat app. If the user has a Snapchat account linked to both the iPhone and the Apple Watch, it will be possible. So the user will be able to zoom in and zoom out to check on the information and updates from the friends.
Search
The users will be able to search for profiles by typing on the search bar option available in the app. To try this feature, the users can try searching for celebrities’ accounts as it would be easy to find.
Unfortunately, Snapchat has not given users access to reply to the incoming message or snaps via Apple watch. So the user will be able to see the notification but cannot view or reply to any of the messages.
