Meta-owned WhatsApp is one of the most popular instant messaging apps with more than 2 billion users worldwide. You can send messages, make video calls and share pictures/videos with your family and friends. But have you ever come across a situation when you do not feel like typing to reply to a message or to make calls. Or you are driving or in a situation when both of your hands are preoccupied and you can not reach your smartphone to reply to a particular message.
Don’t worry. There is a WhatsApp trick that allows you to send messages and make WhatsApp calls ‘hands free’. It uses your smartphone’s voice assistant to do the trick. Do note that this trick works only when your device is unlocked. It will not work if your smartphone is locked. Let us begin with Android phones first
