WhatsApp text and audio in Tesla?

[Exscite]

Can we use the WhatsApp via the Tesla's web browser to text and to audio communicate? This will be a good feature when you don't have your cell phone on you.

No, web.whatsapp.com page is not supported in Tesla's browser. A popup will show asking to you update your Safari browser in the car. The browser also does not support any video or audio.

Is there any other way to get Whatsapp notifications in the car?

I use Android Auto,it auto turns on when I get into the car. The I use voice commands through the phone to read/reply. Not elegant but it works.

Not super relevant but on the topic of other messaging apps: Telegram works in-car!

Just tried. Now it said to update Google Chrome to 49+ for the web version to work. But I found a way to read whatsapp if your phone is unlocked in the car and you know you got a new message. Just say "Hey Google, Read Whatsapp Message". And if will ask if you want to Reply. You could just say "Yes" and then say the message. You can also say "Hey Google, Send Whatsapp Message". It will prompt you for name, message, send or cancel, etc...

Do you mean with the web browser? Or in another way?

Technically yes, but if Tesla doesn't not support to use WhatsApp then you can use WhatsApp in Tesla Car.
