One thing that is ridiculous with CarPlay is that I can't read messages: it only allows to "speak" it and while I use my phone in English I message with my friends in my native language and speaking works terrible. Even my car's shitty infotainment system can display messages.
This results in the worst possible outcome: I need to take my phone and read the messages on my phone screen, creating a safety risk.
- trodat14 3y agoWhy do you need to read messages while you’re driving?
- fragmede 3y agobecause the message may be informing the driver of a change in destination

- bzzzt 3y agoIs the message so important it justifies creating a safety risk? You could also just wait until you've arrived or stop the car at a safe place...
- mihainov 3y agoThat's the problem. I don't know if the message is important or not unless I see it. There wouldn't be a safety risk if at least the beginning of the message was displayed on screen. That would be enough to figure out if it's something worth stopping for or something that can wait.
- can16358p 3y agoWell it could be important. CarPlay has no problem displaying a notification of a message with a red dot or a popup from below. If it didn't, then I get it. But it does show that there's a message but doesn't show the message itself: worst of both worlds.
