Same, a family member send a photo while I was driving and over Carplay it was described fairly accurately.

  It’s sometimes awesome, and often extremely basic. “Contact sent you a picture of a group of people at an airport”. Amazing. “Contact sent you a screenshot of a social media post”. Useless. We know iOS can select text in pictures, so Siri can clearly read it. It knows it’s SoMe, so why not give me the headline?

    I’m hoping this shows up in iOS 18.

    > It knows it’s SoMe, so why not give me the headline? There's certainly a non-zero number of times this could go horribly wrong (I'm guessing CarPlay doesn't have any sense of who is in the car with you) and defaulting to not reading them out is the safest option (but they could definitely add a toggle for this, yeah.)

      The same is true with reading out text messages. I’ve disabled it for CarPlay now after receiving a mildly raunchy text with a car full of colleagues. It’s still useful on the headphones though.

        Only if you have apple headphones though. If you've got some other thing, for some reason, it doesn't know how to tell you anything.
