CarPlay stopped reading WhatsApp messages

Up until a couple of weeks ago everything on CarPlay working fine. Now CarPlay shows red dot to show I have new WhatsApp message. Ask CarPlay to read message and Siri just says do you want to reply, without reading the message ? I can still compose and send a new message and reply to the incoming message, Siri just won’t read the new incoming message ?

as far as I know I haven’t changed any settings on my phone or on CarPlay.

i have deleted the phone from the car, deleted the car from the phone, deleted an re-installed WhatsApp, still same issue ?

iPhone XR, iOS 15

I have the exact same problem however I have realised that normal messages do read out aloud still. I have checked every single setting possible so if anybody has any idea what is causing this annoyance, I’d be very grateful.
