WhatsApp has become a part of our daily life. From starting the day with good morning messages to our loved ones, sharing important work-related queries to chatting with friends, WhatsApp does it all. Plus, voice calling, video calling, stickers and much more, make the experience quite enriching. However, there are times when you can't type in a hurry or you don't feel like typing long messages. In such a situation, you can actually send a message on WhatsApp without typing. Surprised? Well, it does work!

To send a WhatsApp message without typing, you will need to simply ask your virtual assistants such as Google Assistant or Siri to do the job for you. However, make sure to activate your Google Assistant/Siri first. And also ensure that it recognizes your voice and consider placing the app on your home screen for quick access. Follow these simple steps to get started on sending WhatsApp messages without typing.

Similarly, you can send a message without typing on an iPhone. However, ensure Siri on your iPhone is turned on. 

To do so, visit Settings and click on Siri & Search. After that, turn the toggle on to Listen for 'Hey Siri'. 

Now, go to the apps and find WhatsApp. Simply click on it and turn on the toggle which says 'Use with Ask Siri'. 

And that's all! Now you can say a message with a specific contact name to send a message, just like Android smartphones.
