Apple CarPlay not automatically displaying new texts on iPhone 17

iPhone 17 with 27.2. When receiving a text on Apple car play and I want to listen to it I have to scroll to the person name to listen to it. Why doesn’t car play take me right to the new text instead of scrolling to it?

(The “why?” questions are for Apple. Not for us.)


I usually use Siri to read incoming text messages, not the touchscreen.
