The old WhatsApp for CarPlay is mostly limited to Siri-operated features. Users can, for instance, ask Siri to compose messages or place calls for them. The new interface has a contact info section, where they can see the profiles of people saved in their account, as well as a favorite contacts section that makes it easy to find users they usually message or call.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">Users can also find a list of their recent chats and call history within the app. Plus, they&rsquo;ll see new shortcut buttons for sending messages via dictation or for placing a call, in case they don&rsquo;t want or can&rsquo;t give verbal Siri commands. Meta has been beta testing the new app since at least last week. Now that it&rsquo;s available, users can have access to all the features we&rsquo;ve listed by updating their iOS app and connecting to their infotainment systems. OpenAI also recently rolled out ChatGPT&rsquo;s Voice mode to CarPlay, allowing drivers to hold a conversation with the chatbot while on the road.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><sub>WhatsApp adds a better, native interface for CarPlay<\/sub><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meta has released a new version of WhatsApp for CarPlay that has much better integration that its previous version.&nbsp;As MacRumors and 9to5Mac report, the new app gives users access to a native interface.
