Using WhatsApp on Angel Watch™
The WhatsApp app allows the watch to make voice and video calls, as well as send and receive text, picture, and voice messages. Communication through WhatsApp occurs outside of the trusted Family Members group and does not provide access to sensitive information such as location tracking, health data, or watch settings.
⚠️ LINE Lite is no longer supported on Angel Watch™.
General contacts can download WhatsApp on any compatible device, create an account, and communicate directly with your child only through WhatsApp, without gaining access to any private data available to Family Members in the Angel Watch™ app.
How to Set Up WhatsApp on the Watch
- Open WhatsApp on the watch and begin registration using the watch’s phone number.
- After entering the number, an SMS verification code will be sent to the watch’s number.
- Enter the verification code to complete registration.
If You Do Not Receive the Verification SMS
If the verification SMS does not arrive on the watch:
- Power off the watch and remove the SIM card.
- Insert the SIM card into another phone that can receive SMS messages.
- Continue the WhatsApp registration on the watch using Wi-Fi.
- Enter the watch’s phone number and receive the verification code on the phone.
- Complete registration, then reinsert the SIM card into the watch.
- Reboot the watch after reinserting the SIM card.
This process allows WhatsApp to function correctly while keeping Angel Watch™ security features intact.
