What do you mean? Where is it needed?

There are unfortunately situations where the only way to reach someone is via WhatsApp. I have avoided them but i can see WhatsApp in a VM being useful for those purposes.

i believe they are referring to the whatsapp bug that the saudi prince used on jeff bezos. simply sending bezos a message gave the saudi prince root access on his phone and he dumped all his messages and photos and released them to the press. running in a vm would just have whatsapp so they can send and receive messages without exposing all the private information on their phone in case of some 0day

So you would run the VM on a phone? Because if not, you'd need to carry an open and connected laptop around.

You could connect to the VM using somelike like TeamViewer running on your phone.

You would run TeamViewer on your phone 24/7 with a persistent connection to a server? Now would you receive the notifications?
