This task and profile set enables voice notifications for Whatsapp messages.
The voice notification will not fire if the phone is facing upwards1 or if the screen is turned on2.
The voice notifier will replace unknown numbers3 with the word "unknown" to skip reading out the full number.
Note: If your phone is on silent, the voice notification respects that!
You need to create 2 profiles (one is reusable for all IM) and 1 task.
Just a tiny bit of coding

where others like Telegram only use:
