iOS 26.6 thru 27.0.1 seem to have broken my CarPlay making it much more dangerous to drive with.

Since upgrading to iOS 26.6 thru 27.0.1 on my iPhone 12, CarPlay no longer works with Speech to Text and Siri, making my driving for Uber even more dangerous than it already is.

I will try calling support next. But there doesn't seem to be any admission from Apple that the new operating systems are all messed up, especially when dealing with CarPlay.

Deadly danger is not funny. Please get your stuff together Apple. There appears to be no benefit to recent upgrades, which are actually downgrades for me!

Nobody seems to have an accurate answer here, either.

Not to heap on you, but I have no clue what you're going on about. Two iPhones, both on iOS 27.0.1, with two cars, neither of which are having any issues at all with CarPlay or using Siri to respond to texts, get directions, tell me the weather, etc.

By chance, do you have a VPN on your iPhone? People who seem to have issues with CarPlay often find out having a VPN on their phone is causing the issue. VPNs, unless required by a school or employer (who should provide them in the first place) do nothing to protect people on an iPhone. But they do cause all sorts of connectivity issues.

No, things are messed up on YOUR IPHONE, not on hundreds of millions of other iPhones.

Apple isn’t here and won’t see your message.

Probably because no one can duplicate it. I have no problem with either speech to text or Siri. Just an hour ago I said; “Siri, take me home” and it gave me directions.

Go over all of your settings carefully, and especially Siri, the Uber app, check your volume and Focus settings.

What on earth are you babbling about? I talk to Siri all the time while driving, asking directions, asking about the weather, making a phone call, etc.

There may be a problem with your particular iPhone 12 but no one else is complaining. Really, how dare you claim Apple is dropping the ball when millions of CarPlay users are just fine. Good grief.

Oh, and there won’t be any admission from Apple because there’s nothing to admit.
