No longer receiving texts

[EVaClarity]

Last week, the car no longer "recieves" texts and displays them in the dashboard where I could have the car read them to me and send responses from the list. My Samsung phone and watch are getting them. Have checked all settings to receive notifications and I can use voice commands to make calls through the phone. I'm baffled what setting got messed up. Anyone have anything similar, always wonder if it can be a software update.

Did you perhaps 'mute' the conversation at one point?

For all texts?

Where's the mute setting in a 2018 clarity?

It's part of Android Auto, not the car.

Looks like a common thing for Samsung phones?

try this on the phone:

click Settings>Connected Devices>Connection Preferences>Android Auto
Android auto app settings... Notifications...at bottom is Do Not Disturb "over ride"
turn that On.

First question is whether you changed to a newer phone? When I switched from a Sony running Android 10 to Samsung on a newer build, I lost the function to get messages thru bluetooth on the headunit. Now, I can only get them via Android Auto.

So, is it the function of getting messages without connecting Android Auto that you have lost? Or you are not getting messages with AA connected (which on stock Clarities requires the wired connection)?
