You can send group messages using Siri on WhatsApp for iPhone

Since WhatsApp for iPhone has been updated to version 2.18.80, you can send messages directly to WhatsApp group using Siri.

Basically you can extend Siri's integration into WhatsApp and send individual WhatsApp messages in 2016 using voice for the first time.

WhatsApp for iPhone not only supports Siri through group messages, it also displays images and GIF directly in the notification banner.

You can also use notification banner, scan notification, and preview GIF Peek and Pop gestures without accessing WhatsApp.

With the latest update, you can send messages to the WhatsApp group using Siri and WhatsApp for iPhone.

You do not need to access Apple's WhatsApp and enter messages from the WhatsApp group.

Instead, you can use voices to send important messages to any group of instant messaging applications. This is an extension of Siri's integration with WhatsApp since September 2016.

To send a group message using Siri, ask "I will send a message to WhatsApp Group [name]" while holding down the Syl! "Home" button. If there are several groups with similar themes, Siri displays a list of groups.

After entering the appropriate group in the list, you need to enter a message and have the voice assistant send it to the group.

At the same time as WABetaInfo will be able to send group messages via Siri, WhatsApp for iPhone now displays images and GIFs in notification banners.

This is different from the general "photo" and "GIF" labels. It has also been reported that images and GIFs can be downloaded directly from notifications when the automatic photo download option is turned off.

In addition, users can preview GIFs on iPhone 6 or later using Peek and Pop gestures, or drag and preview notifications. WABetaInfo claims that this feature will work on iOS 10 or later.

However, we could not find the function reported on our iOS device. This could be a switch on the server side.


You can download WhatsApp for iPhone from Apple App Store. This application is compatible with devices with iOS 7.0 or later and is 166.3 MB in size.
