CarPlay Message won't pop-up after iOS 18 update

After installing iOS 18, text messages don’t pop up on the car's home screen like they did prior to the update. I have go to the CarPlay application to see the pop-ups. Evidently, it's a deliberate change that Apple made, which is extremely annoying and puts the driver's safety at a higher risk. We now have to click additional screens to put CarPlay in front just to see notifications that used to be there without any extra steps.

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.
