WhatsApp hangs after Siri reads an incoming message out on CarPlay

When an incoming message in WhatsApp is read aloud by Siri in CarPlay the app hangs and you cannot reply, reread or not reply. You can press the tiles icon in bottom right of the screen to return to the normal in car display. It also no longer recognises the names of group chats. This has happened for roughly the last 5 days. I have checked the App Store and there is no app update available for WhatsApp. Updating to the latest iOS has had no effect either. For someone who does 2-600 miles a day in the car this is incredibly frustrating.

This exact thing is happening to me too! WhatsApp used to read the message and say ‘do you want to reply?’ But now it just freezes at the end or even in the middle of a message. Have tried resetting and updating everything, nothing seems to work. Have looked all over the internet too but this is the first time I’ve come across someone else with the same problem. Would be grateful if someone could help us!
