Meta-owned messaging app WhatsApp was updated to add expanded support for Apple CarPlay. While it was previously integrated with auto-based software, the app now has access to the full native interface. You can access your recent chats, call history, and your favourite contacts. It's also easier to send messages via dictation or make calls.
To get access to the updated app, make sure you have the latest version of WhatsApp on your phone before connecting it to your CarPlay-compatible vehicle.
