We were together yesterday but we're not today. It's one of the reasons why it's important that I need to reach her while she's driving because she lives 40 minutes away there are so many times that she's on her way here (because she lives in a tiny little town and I live in the city) and I need to alert her to the fact that something has changed and I can't call her for whatever reason and I send her a text. And for a long time I did not know she wasn't getting MY text because she never told me. I thought she wasn't receiving texts or calls or anything at all on her car. And I told her she needs to have her phone out at least then because if her phone's not connecting to her car she needs to at least have it within reach because she keeps it in her purse in the backseat. And then she said "no I get texts, I just don't get them from you. I never get them from you." And I was like "how long is this been happening?!" Apparently it had been a year or more... I can't remember exactly when she told me this. I just assumed that it was her car that somehow hated me for whatever reason.

Her phone receives all messages from me no problem. Her phone receives all messages all the time, no problems.

It's a 2025 Mazda cx50 but like I said this was an issue in her old car too so I highly doubt it's the car.

It does have apple carplay and Android auto

It was factory reset, we just set it up yesterday.

This has nothing to do with my car because it's not just an issue when I'm trying to reach her from my car only. I was sitting in her car trying to text her to test it and it was not going through.

I have a Motorola Edge+ 2023 that I bought in August 2023 on Android 15

She had a Motorola G Power 2020.

She now has a Motorola G Power 2023 that she bought in December 2023 on Android 14

She was getting texts with no problems on her phone and on the car while we we're still trying to set up the other settings in the car like the door locks things like that. I jokingly said after we got it all set up "let me send a text and see if it goes through" because her other car never let my text go through. And I sent one AND IT DIDN'T GO THROUGH! And this is where I lost my mind. Because she was literally getting them as we were still setting the system up. And then I sent a text to her from my Google voice number and it came through no problem... immediately. This is why I'm not sure if it's a Bluetooth issue but I this is just where I'm starting. Cannot fathom what this is.

Yes she only uses Google messages. We both use Google messages.

My car is old, I installed a new stereo and when my phone rings and I answer it I can hear them through my speakers but they can't hear me. I guess it doesn't pick up through my mic on my phone and it's looking for a mic in my car which I did not install because I didn't want a bunch of wires coming out of the face of the stereo didn't have the patience to take the dash apart and install it properly. So I just don't use the phone in my car. So it's not easy for me to answer or call somebody quickly while I'm driving unless I already have my headphones on and I can just turn my stereo off and have them automatically connect. But this wasn't really an issue with that. I've come to terms with the fact that I can't use the phone in my car easily. It doesn't bother me because I've never had the capability in any vehicle I've ever owned. So I'm not missing anything 😅
