WhatsApp’s New in-Car Experience Is Built Around Hands-Free Control
Users can now hear and reply to messages in CarPlay and register on iPad without linking a primary phone, WhatsApp said.
- On Wednesday, Meta announced a "completely refreshed" experience for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, enabling drivers to hear and reply to messages, view call history, and access favorite contacts hands-free from their vehicle's screen.
- Meta aims to make WhatsApp a "more complete cross-device communication platform," addressing previous limitations that restricted drivers to only composing messages and placing calls on car infotainment systems.
- IPad users can now register for WhatsApp accounts directly on their tablet without linking to a primary smartphone, a feature requested since the app launched on iPad last year.
- Desktop and web users can now open PDFs directly within WhatsApp using Adobe Acrobat tools to highlight and annotate, while users can share tracks from Apple Music or Spotify to their WhatsApp Status.
- WhatsApp has shipped new features nearly every month this summer, following May's paid Plus tier and June's usernames, reflecting the company's broader effort to transform the app into a comprehensive multi-device platform.
