Hey boobalan24,


We understand you're having an issue using Siri to send a WhatsApp message, however it's unclear if this is specific to WhatsApp or if this is occurring with Messages as well. We ask as it'll be important to isolate this issue further and determine if this is only happening with a 3rd party app or not.


If this is specific to WhatsApp, make sure the app is fully updated. If it's not specific to WhatsApp, make sure you've restarted your iPhone and gotten it fully updated to iOS 16.1 and tested further. If you're connected to Wi-Fi, test over cellular and vice versa.


If this behavior persists afterward, we'd suggest getting in contact with Apple Support so they can look into this matter with you further: Get Support


We hope this helps out.


Take care!

Hi,

Thank you for your kind reply. But i am having this issues only in whatsapp. When i was trying first time to send a message through whatsapp it asked me permission. I selected permission “yes”. Still i am getting this error. I don’t know why. Please help me to resolve this issue.


second i would like to add one more problem. While watching movie in any streaming apps or while listening music in apple music on mobile speaker, siri is not responding at all. Even if i call her very loudly. Please fix this issue too.


Thank you :)
