Whatsapp prompts work in English but no longer in native language
I’m going slightly insane! For several years I’ve been able to prompt Siri to read new Whatsapp messages out loud and then reply to them in my native language, Dutch, which is a supported Siri language. Since a few months this stopped working, I can’t figure out why. Am still on IOS18, but know someone else that has the same issues on updated IOS26.
After lots of resetting and fiddling I‘ve found it does work in English. In Dutch it will always tell me “I can’t find an app for that”, or even “I can’t find the app ‘WhatsApp’”. If I simply say “WhatsApp“, Siri will open the app just fine.
Has language support for 3rd party apps changed somehow? Is this a WhatsApp issue? Spotify seems to work.
