XMAS update- Can receive texts but can’t send them. Anyone else?

[Curly7733]

Ok so I have an iPhone XR running IOS 12.4.1. I’ve avoided IOS 13 till now because it’s had so many issues.

However, I only seem to be able to receive messages and not reply. I’ve unpaired and re-paired as discussed. Settings are fine. What’s even more weird is messages from my wife aren’t being received by Tesla. Others are. (I may have just set myself up there huh?)

Is the working theory that I need to upgrade my phone to IOS 13.3 for this to work properly? Or are people on 13.3 also having issues?

Thanks!

I had the same problem (and started this discussion). Going to iOS 13 worked for me,

Ok. I guess it’s time to load 13. There goes my battery life...

Can’t see why iOS 13 (or your wife lol) matters. It should be BT permission on both sides. The car can’t tell what the OS is, only that it has access to (and the phone that it has) access to the BT messages.

Really weird issues here.

No probs here with battery life on 13. No idea what this refers to?

Don’t know why it worked just reporting that it did to help others.

I’ll upgrade and report back.

Why IOS 13 could matter is due to how Apple implement BT in the OS.

I have tried all of the above. No joy.

I can receive texts, just can’t send.

I am having the same issue. Nothing happens when I try to reply to a text.

Unfortunately I have an iPhone 6s which will not get any further major updates

So I just joined this forum because of this issue. I can receive messages but when I reply, the sender does not receive them. Things is, Ive only noticed this recently and my iPhone and Tesla software is always up to date (running iOS 13.7). This is kind of a big problem for as I’m always stuck on the LA freeways, thinking I’m replying to my 11 & 14 yr old kids—meanwhile they think I’m ignoring them! I’ve done all the reinstalls suggested but still not working.

So it used to work, and doesn’t now ?
Or it never really worked ?

It used to work. Not sure when it stopped, I only noticed it about a week ago.

Now that I think about it, my X updated software overnight—it may have been happening before but I only noticed it after the update.
