Over the weekend I upgraded to the 16 Pro with IOS 18. Since then, I’m not getting any popup notifications for incoming text messages on CarPlay. All my settings are exactly the same as my previous phone. I’ve re-paired my phone with my car several times, still no luck. Right now, the only way I know I have any new texts is to go into my messages on my screen. Very inconvenient! Please help!

iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18
I was told today by an Apple Senior Advisor that the CarPlay text pop up box was REMOVED with the 18 update. It’s not a bug or something awaiting a fix, it’s gone. Supposedly something about making everyone completely hands free. He said features can be brought back if enough users ask for it. All requests however, must go through the Apple.com/feedback page to be counted. So go forth and ask! apple.com/feedback There is not an option for CarPlay so the rep I spoke to said put it under iPhone.
I will definitely do that. Thanks. Yet another example of big brother running our lives even though we are the ones paying the bill. C8STL
This is ridiculous to have had happen to apple owners that want this feature, it needs fixed. Super frustrated
