In order to send a text message to someone through WhatsApp, use the following voice command:Hey Siri, send a WhatsApp message to NAME. Siri will then ask you what you want to say in a message. After you’re finished Siri will ask you to confirm and will then send the WhatsApp message. All without having to unlock your phone or open WhatsApp.

One more thing Siri can help you with is reading your incoming WhatsApp messages aloud. When you see a new message notification from WhatsApp, sayHey Siri, read my latest WhatsApp message. Siri will tell you who the message is from and what it said.

Siri will also ask you if you want to reply. If you answerYes, Siri will record your voice response and send it to the person after you confirm the reply.

Note that Siri will only regard this message asUnreadfor the first time. If you ask to read your unread messages again, Siri will tell you that you have no new messages. Even if it’s still unread in WhatsApp, Siri will only read it out loud once.
