I noticed something last night when I was out in the car. I had updated to the latest version of WhatsApp earlier in the day which only listed “bug fixes” in the change log. But when I plugged my iPhone into my vehicle, this popped up on CarPlay:
WhatsApp had made an appearance in Apple CarPlay. That was kind of a surprise. I got a friend to help me to test it out and I found the following:
- Siri will notify me when I have received a new WhatsApp message.
- Siri can read messages.
- I can now send WhatsApp Messages via Siri and it works the same way as the built in messages app.
This is a big deal as up until now, no other messaging app has ever worked in CarPlay as far as I know. I hope that means that other messaging apps like Skype and the like will make an appearance in CarPlay as well.
