I got the iPhone 16 Pro on release day. I have a 2024 Lexus ES300h that has wireless Car Play (which is how I have used it 99% of the time). Since the update to 18.0.1., it seems like I've been having quite a few issues with my message notifications popping up.
Previously, on my iPhone 13 Pro and (if I recall correctly) prior to the update to 18.0.1 on the 16P, whether I was listening to SiriusXM, one of the apps on my phone, etc., if I got a text message, the banner would pop up on the bottom of the screen and I had the option to tap it to listen to it, or just let the banner go away after a few seconds.
I noticed yesterday (following updating to 18.0.1 the night before) that the banner was no longer popping up. If I opened the phone to the Lock Screen, I would see the banner for the message notification and when I would go into CarPlay on the dash, it would show the badge count on the app icon. So, it was just that the banner never popped up on the in-car dash.
I tried restarting the car, restarting the phone, disconnecting and forgetting the phone and re-adding it to CarPlay and none of that seems to have fixed it.
I checked in Notifications>Messages and "Show in CarPlay" is/was toggled on.
I have never have "Announce Notifications" turned on in Siri because I hate it, but that's also never prevented the banner from popping up in the past, or as recently as earlier this week.
In the past, I feel like this has happened from time-to-time over the years but it was usually resolved the next time I got in the car and/or connected the phone again. That doesn't seem to be resolving the issue this time around so far,
I haven't had much luck searching online - a lot of the "fixes" seem to be around making sure "announce notifications" is turned on, but that's not what I'm wanting to have happen here. And the somewhat related info I have found online seems to be mostly from before iOS 18, so potentially somewhat "outdated."
Is anyone having similar issues and/or know of a fix for this?
