WhatsApp not reading messages in CarPlay

My system updated on Tuesday and I have the same problem. Worked perfectly before.

Same here, incredibly frustrating. Tried resetting a bunch of things, no luck.

Guessing no one has a fix for this yet?

Nope - not car specific.... Just CarPlay on all devices / cars

No car specific. Not working in all three of mine

I have same problem and have tried disconnecting and reconnecting and have same problem

same for me too! No fixes yet?

What's going on Apple? No response at all is just not good customer service! Please can we get an update>?

I wonder if it car manufacturer specific ? No one has commented on their car brand / models ?

Mine is a 2019 BMW 330i

WhatsApp version: 2.25.17.1

IOS version: 18.5

Fixed !!!! Today… 26/06/2025

whatsapp version 2.25.18.85 resolved the issue for me !!!

Still on IOS 18.5

Thank you for letting us know, the WhatsApp update fixed the issue!

So good to hear it is not just me! Like everyone, all "fix" solutions tried to no avail. Almost makes for dangerous driving with the distraction of sorting this and having to stop to read the messages.

Same for me VW Taigo in UK. I have only noted this around 21 June. I haven't seen this specific issue before but prior issues all seemed to be caused by a whatsapp / Apple update that was incompatiable. Hoping someone reads this and introduces a fix. It was all working well before.

I was having the same problem , very frustrating, and remembered I had activated face recognition in WhatsApp settings. I disabled this and it now receives, reads and sends messages.

Hope this is helpful

Another WhatsApp update must have happened because I updated it again and it's working perfectly now.
