iOS 13.5 Siri will not open apps while driving

I opened a case on 6/3. Actually talked to a (at least) 2nd level tech. Had me try a bunch of stuff, she connected to my phone remotely, had me go to my car and record it happening (no audio though since it goes through car bluetooth) and upload files. It's currently still open.

Yesterday, I could say "Siri, turn on bluetooth" so that I get calls on the car. Today Siri can't do it because I'm driving. The ONLY thing changed is I updated to 13.51. My DND is NOT on. I've never even used it.

I have this problem too, any updates? I updated to 13.5.1yesterday and Siri when connected to the car refuses to open any non-native Apple apps when I ask. It tells me “Sorry I can’t do that while you’re driving” huh, you were able to do that for me while I was driving before I updated my phone. Navigation in Apple Maps sucks in my area. I use Siri to ask for directions all the time. Please any advice or help on fixing this. I deleted my phone from my car and reconnected it.

Yes, exactly what I'm facing.

I'm using my Bluetooth to connect with my Honda Odyssey, in the previous iOS(Before 13.5), I'm OK to say "hey Siri, open google map", but after I updated to iOS 13.5, "Hey siri" still working, but when I say "open google map", the response it roughly like "sorry, I cannot operate in the car" or something like that, the siri interface has a car logo.

I'm very sure that I do not open disturbing mode, I'm sure of this.

Definitely it is a new bug and need be fixed.

This is happening on a 2016 Honda CRV, so the car model is irrelevant. This is very irritating and unacceptable. I don't buy a car to have someone come to my driveway overnight and move the steering column to the right side because "it's the new thing." So I expect my iPhone to not arbitrarily change behavior in the car as well.

Apple: return this to the way it previously was. This helps no one.

I spent 45 min on the phone with apple today about this. I used to be able to say “Hey Siri- start route home in Waze.” After the update the car icon comes up and Siri tells me “I can’t help you with that while you’re in the car.” (Paraphrasing). I got passed around to two different reps and got no help. They told me to reset my phone lol. Didn’t help obviously.

Same issue here, except I’m using the iOS 14.0 developer preview beta. Siri can’t seem to open any apps when connected to my aftermarket Pioneer car stereo over Bluetooth. Doesn’t matter whether I use Hey Siri or hold the home button down to call up Siri. I mainly use it to open Audible when I get in the car. I tried “unpairing/forgetting” the Bluetooth connection and repairing to see if maybe I could get Siri to forget that it’s a car stereo, no luck.

I will submit feedback as well. I’m afraid that it’s an intentional change on Apple’s part since it’s a step in the wrong direction for me. Now I have no choice but to look at the display to use otherwise handsfree apps.

Small update. For some reason today I was able to open Spotify while connected to my car radios Bluetooth. Siri worked the whole trip while driving. Maybe...Siri doesn’t work in the car while driving?

newd to do further testing to establish if I can repeat what happened today or if it was just a random thing

I have this same issue since the update. I get this same image. I used to be able to pull YouTube videos while driving, now I get that image and she tells me she cannot show me that while driving. I have completed all the checks that you have done to no avail.

Reported to äpple! Same problems as everyone on here, 13.5 stopped Siri from opening apps in my Chevy Colorado. No updates available from Chevy. Thanks apple. Going to buy a different phone if this is not fixed. Point of hands free is that it works. Tried to download iOS 13 and it won’t let me go back. Tried the hard reset, the blue tooth disconnect and reconnect, Everything on here. Incredibly frustrating!!!! Apple please fix!!

I marked this as helpful and didn't mean to. What do you mean is my car blocking anything? My RAV4 didn't block this the day before I updated to IOS 13.5.1. If you can explain this, we would love to check it out. I strictly use bluetooth. I don't use any of the apps on my RAV.

I have the latest update and I am still having the same problem. My do not disturb is off and I am connecting via Bluetooth. I do not have Apple car play.

The same thing occurs in both my cars. One is a Toyota Corolla and the other a Subaru WRX. Started with the 13.5 update but has not improved with the 13.5.1. Very frustrating, if I make a call, Waze Disappears and my screen goes black and I cannot reopen it. I cannot open Waze at all if I’m driving and have not opened it. The only function I seem to be able to do is call. I understand the safety of not being able to text, but not being able to open my navigation??

I even tried to see if the do not disturb was automatically switched on when I started my car and it wasn't. I used to be able to ask Siri to open apps while driving and it would work. now all that works is if I ask Siri to send a text. She doesn't open apps like music or navigation anymore

It happens to me in all three of our family cars (bmw, Cadillac and Kia) sI it’s clearly not an auto firmware issue. Happens since 13.5 update. I have called numerous times in this. They open a case, then it mysteriously gets closed without resolution...so I reopen again. I have sent video and provided everything they have asked...to no avail. Not even a call back.

That's the same screen I get after the update. IT IS frustrating since I let my gbabies use my phone while riding with me. and I like to control their volume through the car system. FORD says nope not them... ATT says nope not them.... it happened after the update and it makes our phone dangerous and inconvenient while driving. Apple is quickly losing the love with so many things changing in update that should be USER chosen. It there any help to change this stupid feature back. I can't navigate this way.
