CarPlay not reading WhatsApp messages

Yesterday I noticed that CarPlay wasn’t reading out my WhatsApp messages.

The notification pops up on screen, and when I tap it, WhatsApp opens and then it just says ‘would you like to reply?’ It’s like CarPlay thinks it’s read out the message but it hasn’t. I can’t see the name of the person the message is from, but everything else appears normal. And I can reply successfully. I can also send messages successfully. It’s just the reading out of incoming messages that doesn’t work.

I’ve updated the WhatsApp app to the latest version – although I only did this after it stopped working. And I’m running the latest version of iOS.

I’ve also checked the ‘announcement’ settings for WhatsApp and CarPlay and they look fine.

Any help would be appreciated…
