CarPlay 3rd party notifcations

when connected to CarPlay, my phone does not light up when I get notifications from 3rd party apps such as Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, etc. is there a reason for this? The notifications get delivered “quietly” and the screen stays black

iPhone 5s, iOS 12

Hey there idk a username,


We'd like to learn more about what's happening, along with ruling out some other possible causes:


  1. Do you see new app notifications for those three apps when not connected with CarPlay, and was there a time when you did see them while connected with CarPlay?
  2. Sometimes unexpected behavior can be resolved with a restart: Restart your iPhone
  3. For your iPhone model, the latest version is iOS 12.5.7. You can verify this within Settings > General > About. In case you needed it, this link shows how to first back up, then update: Update your iPhone or iPad


Cheers!
