Hi, after upgrading to IOS 15, voice address input into navigation apps no longer works, application does not hear me. Tried google maps, yandex navigation using two different iphones 12 and two different cars with carplay support.
to reproduce open google maps or other nac app and click mic icon for address input.
iPhone 12 Pro Max
I also had this problem. Since my native Apple apps worked with the carplay microphone I guessed it was Google Maps specific so I posted here as well
Anyway, after verifying that Google Maps had access to the microphone because it was working fine up until recently I thought maybe reinstalling would work and it did, but it took a couple of tries. Here's what didn't work and what did work for me
1. Didn't work
Uninstalled Google Maps.
Turned iPhone off
Turned iPhone on
Installed Google Maps
Launched Google Maps
Glimmer of hope. It asks for permission to access location , microphone, and contacts.
I'm able to give access to microphone and contacts but not location. If go
to Settings -> Privacy -> Location Services Google Maps isn't
listed (Google Calendar is, but not Gmaps).
Turn iPhone off
Turn iPhone on
Google Maps appears in Settings -> Privacy -> Location Services and I grant it access
Test with microphone using CarPlay is unsuccessful
2. Did work.
Uninstalled Google Maps.
Turned iPhone off
Turned iPhone on
Installed Google Maps
Turned iPhone off
Connected USB cable in car for CarPlay
Turned iPhone on
Launched Google Maps
Am able to grant access to location services, microphone, and contacts
Tests using microphone in car seems to work. Will continue to test and validate.
Breaking News: Apple is currently interviewing for several positions to rectify this problem. Stay tuned.
Still not working for me on on 15.2.1 in the BMW 4 series (2017 unit) and Kenwood (2020 unit) in VW Camper
Voice search is not working again and this is very annoying.
Great questions. Why are “they” not fixing it asap?
Supply chain issues. Obviously.
I have the latest firmware 15.2.1 and the problem still persists.
I'm almost tempted to go back to the previous version if I can.
It is a real hassle that it does not work, when you're driving
I don't mean to be a buzzkill but if we dilute this thread with chit-chat and non-relevant posts it loses its value to drive change at Apple.
I have the same problem. I’m up to date on software upgrades and still no resolution.
Has anyone tried after updating to the latest 15.3?
Yes, updated the other day, no change.
I'm still having the "intermittent" problem even after 15.3 and fresh Google Maps install.
Greetings:
Has anyone tried the new IOS 15.4?
Thanks!
I tried it this morning and got it to work twice. Hopefully this is the fix everyone’s been waiting for. Will report back if something acts up.
I have been having the same trouble after the 15.0.2 update. Only Apple Maps hears my voice. Waze and Google Maps gives the can't hear me message as noted above. Siri works fine. So frustrating. Seriously considering going back to Android.
I have not received 15.2 yet but I did factory reset my phone and restored it from the last update. That didn’t work.
Subsequently I deleted Google maps and reinstalled it this morning and so far that has resolved the issue.
