Previously Siri has worked great both on my phone and via apple car play to send messages. On a journey yesterday all I got was ‘hmm it looks like blahblah doesn’t have messages enabled’. This has always worked fine with all of these contacts before. I have since tried just on my phone with the same result. Something is obviously broken.
iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 17
Hi, unfortunately that doesn't work for me. After I say 'send message to user' it asks me to confirm which app to use before I can say the message, with the usual 'Hmm it looks like user doesn't have WhatsApp installed' response :-(
Same for me! Just upgraded from 13 Pro to 15 Pro - all worked fine on the 13 Pro, but i get the same now! I am hoping it is just the new iOS update affecting some users!?
It worked absolutely fine previously on my 15 Pro Max so like you say, maybe they broke something in a recent update and they can fix it.
I have just updated WhatsApp manually and they seem to have fixed it. For some reason it didn’t update automatically so was still broken so if yours is still not working properly try updating it.
Ok so I have worked out a fix that worked for me, so fingers crossed it works for you!
Say "Hey Siri" then, instead of saying "send a Whats App to (name).... say, "send a message to (name)"..... say your message. Siri then repeats your message and then says do you want to send it? You then reply "via whats app"
Siri then says your Whats App message says...... and it sends!!
Let me know if it works! :-)
siri stopped working with Whatsapp on iPhone and car play
