WhatsApp has received a major update that brings expanded support for Apple’s CarPlay, allowing users to more easily call and send messages directly from the car’s display.
Namely, it is a new native application of WhatsApp for CarPlay that brings significantly more functionality compared to the previous, limited solution based on the voice assistant. A list of recent conversations, call history and a tab with favorite contacts are now available to users, making communication faster and clearer while driving.
In addition, quick options have been introduced for sending messages through dictation and making direct calls, without the need to use a mobile phone. With this, WhatsApp further simplifies communication while driving, while maintaining a focus on safety while driving.
To use enhanced WhatsApp on CarPlay, you need to update your iPhone to the latest available version.
