WhatsApp update for iPhone will allow Siri to send text messages to groups

The latest update of WhatsApp for the iPhone will allow users to send text messages to groups using Siri. This feature was reported for the first time by WABetaInfo which detected WhatsApp version 2.18.80 for iPhone. This update will also allow iPhone users to view GIF images and images on notification banners. Those who do not want to download images / GIFs can preview them on the notification banner, accessible outside of the instant messaging application.

With the latest WhatsApp update, iPhone users can send a group SMS saying 'Hey Siri', followed by 'Send a message to the WhatsApp group & # 39 ;. Once a user has selected a group to send a message to, he / she must record the message's audio and ask Siri to send it as text. This eliminates the need for iPhone users to type messages for groups on WhatsApp, as was the case before the update. As part of Siri's integration into WhatsApp, voice-generated text messages had been made available for messages sent to individual users.
