WhatsApp's CarPlay App Beta Arrives!
30 Mar
Summary
- Native WhatsApp app for CarPlay is now in beta testing.
- The app offers a visual interface for contacts and call history.
- Full chat reading is disabled for driver safety.
A beta version of a native WhatsApp application for Apple CarPlay is currently being tested, marking a significant development for in-car communication. This upcoming app promises to deliver a much-needed visual interface, moving beyond Siri-only commands.
Users in the beta can access their chat list, with an option to filter for unread messages. The interface also provides access to call history, favorite contacts, and profile details. While users can initiate calls and send messages, the app intentionally restricts access to full message conversations to ensure driver safety.
This beta release is available through Apple's TestFlight app. Although some minor bugs may be present, the core functionality is expected to remain for the final App Store release, which is anticipated in the near future.
