WhatsApp on iPhone no longer announces contact names in AirPods

It used to be that when I got a WhatsApp message while wearing my AirPods, Siri would say something like: “John Doe sent you a message: ‘Hey, are we still meeting later?’” Now, it just says: “Someone said: ‘Hey, are we still meeting later?’” So it still reads the message out loud, but no longer tells me who it’s from. That’s kind of frustrating, especially when you’re expecting messages from multiple people.
