WhatsApp on CarPlay

My CarPlay read out my WhatsApp messages no problem up until the latest iOS upgrade. Now it just says “Hmmm. There’s nothing here”. I’ve tried the WhatsApp settings and Siri is working on the phone. Help!

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 14

For some reason siri cannot access WhatsApp with touch id/Face id activated since iOS 14 came out. CarPlay uses siri to read WhatsApp.

Try turning off touch id from settings in WhatsApp. Then CarPlay will work as it did before.

Hopefully WhatsApp will fix it soon.

Hi DimloDodge,

Thanks for your advice but unfortunately I have Touch ID disabled in WhatsApp and it still won’t read my messages in CarPlay. I’ve tried reinstalling CarPlay and still Siri just says “Hmm there’s nothing here”
