Unable to reply to text messages

[Zilla91]

Has anyone been unable to reply to text messages in the car? Not sure if one of the software updates or iOS 16 is to blame… got the same issue in both of my cars

I rarely get text messages these days. The ability to display and reply to WhatsApp messages would be much more useful. But I don’t think WhatsApp has taken off in the States so I doubt we will see it happen on Teslas.

Yes, mine works. That said, voice recognition makes a right hash of a reply but a short simple reply works ok
I’m also on iOS 16

I’m on the latest iOS and 44.25.2. I can send and receive texts - but as above, what I say and what the car decides interpret my voice as are very different.

Odd… I’ll try removing and re-pairing my phone to see if that fixes the issue

Edit: yeah, voice on Tesla is diabolical

voice on Tesla is diabolical

Can't remember the details, but someone fitted Alexa / Echo or something like that as a workaround !!

Anyone found a way to get WhattsApp to display messages, or select it as the preferred messaging app?
I'm pretty sure I got one WA message to show/be read out (back in Jan sometime) but I've never been able to repeat it
