Answering a WhattsApp call

[MarkRubinstein]

Hi

If I receive a WhatsApp call whilst driving with my phone connected to the AndroidAuto USB connector in the glove compartment (and probably connected by bluetooth too) I get various options on the dashboard (which you can select using the buttons on the steering wheel) which include "hang up", "make personal" and some other options but I don't see "answer" as an option. If it is a regular phone call then I can answer using the button on the steering wheel and have a hands-free call.

I know that if my passenger opens the glove compartment and answers the WhatsApp on the phone then the call works through the speaker and mic in the van allowing for a hands-free conversation but is there a way to answer without using the phone handset; either using the buttons on the steering wheel or the Android Auto head unit display?

Thank you

Mark

Soon you'll be able to make WhatsApp calls with Android Auto

At CES, Google rolled out several new features and design upgrades to Android Auto, the platform that connects your phone to your car display.
