As you read it, with the latest update of WhatsApp comes a very interesting novelty.
You can now send a message or listen to it while driving.
All thanks to the fact that we have WhatsApp in Carplay. In addition, the integration of Siri will help us to make everything go smoothly while we are driving.
What is CarPlay?
It is a system that Apple launched in 2014 to be able to use your iPhone from your car.
If your vehicle and phone model are compatible with this system, all you have to do is link both via bluetooth or connecting with the lightning of iPhone.
You'll be able to use your iPhone without taking your eyes off the road.
Apps on your iPhone such as Maps, Messages, Calls and now WhatsApp will appear on your car's dashboard screen.
Using the controls on the steering wheel and the touch screen you can answer calls or messages, for example. Siri will help make this integration optimal.
WhatsApp on Carplay
In the last update of WhatsApp, version 2.18.20, it only said that it fixed errors. Without any further explanation.
But iCulture were the first to realize that it brought something new plus the integration of WhatsApp in Carplay.
It is a great novelty for all those users who can use it in their cars.
We can ask Siri to send a message to a contact. Or to read us a message that we have received.
However, you will not be able to consult the list of chats, nor read the conversations themselves. Above all, we must think that we are driving and distractions must be avoided.
Siri makes it easy to integrate WhatsApp into Carplay
With this new functionality of WhatsApp, Siri plays an extraordinary role. It allows us to read or send messages without having to use our hands. This will make you not neglect driving and keep your eyes on the road.

Siri will read the received message to us and when finished it will automatically ask us if we want to reply. We will be able to carry out all these actions respecting driving rules and gaining greater security.
If you are lucky enough to have Carplay in your car, answering a WhatsApp message will no longer be a distraction.
WhatsApp has got the batteries
In the last month the messaging application has undergone several updates. Let's remember that recently it allowed us to watch YouTube videos without leaving the application.
Although it wasn't all good news, we also discovered some vulnerabilities in the encryption of your chats.
This new feature, the integration of WhatsApp with Carplay, has gone unnoticed, or so its developers wanted.
We think this is a nice feature. Many drivers, despite being highly discouraged, answer their WhatsApp messages (or other applications) with their hands while driving. Thus neglecting the road.
Now we can do it with our hands on the wheel and our eyes focused on the cart, and not on the iPhone screen.
Despite this, safety comes first and we must always pay attention to driving.
