WhatsApp message cannot be sent using Siri

Hello !

My wife has the same issue, since 4 days. When she tries to send me a WhatsApp it tells "didn't have WhatsApp enabled" but i've got WhatsApp 😁 and by sms it's working fine ! Someone have an idea ?? I searched in the iphone parameters something about that but i found nothing.. maybe a cache memory to erase due to an update ?!

Thanks by advance for help

Same problem here, it started randomly a few days ago. I can send and receive messages on WhatsApp but when I ask Siri to compose one I get the "doesn't have WhatsApp enabled" error.

My wife's phone, with the same identical setup (iPhone 14 Pro running iOS 17.6 and latest WhatsApp update) works like a charm.

Same issue. New iPhone 15 pro max. Restored from backup on old phone (where was working fine) and now not working. WhatsApp options also not appearing in contacts on iPhone so must be a common issue???

That issue is with WhatsApp app no related with Siri or iOS 17.6 because it was not working with others iOS versions and also people has noted that the issues are present with iOS 18 betas then if not your iPhone or Siri no even iOS 17.6

Try and restart your iPhone to see if the issues persist

Also make sure that the person that you want to send the WhatsApp message to has whatsapp enabled on their phone

Hello I have the same problem as do a number of other people who have posted.

Yep. Me too. Just started happening. I know my recipient has WhatsApp enabled.

Same problem! I tried to reinstall whatsapp, full reset iphone etc. But still have this problem..

Read above please

Same problem. Siri will not send a message via WhatsApp or iMessage. It’s not WhatsApps problem it’s Siri because Siri won’t send iMessage.
