On iPhone X, XS, XS Max, and XR, press and hold the side button > tap Turn On Siri.

However, it should be noted that if WhatsApp is opened with unread messages, the notification badge may reset, leading Siri to assume there are no unread messages and refrain from reading them aloud.

After doing this you can just say “Siri” or “Hey Siri”, then immediately say what you need to do in WhatsApp. In case you haven't set up Siri on your device you can follow these steps.
