No text message popups on CarPlay with iOS 18

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!

I’ve also installed 18.1 and having the same issues. Apple, please get this fixed!

Me too. I get the text pop up if I’m actually on the CarPlay screen, but not when I’m on other screens or apps like I did before the 18.1 and .2 updates. Nothing I’ve tried has worked.

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
