Send or Receive Messages
Sending or receiving messages with Telegram on CarPlay is straightforward. However, you won’t be able to view full chat histories as on your iPhone; only notifications with the sender’s name will appear. You can customize the Siri to read the messages aloud. Here’s the process for sending and receiving messages:
Sending Messages:
1. Start Message: Open Telegram on CarPlay and tap New Message.
2. Voice Command: Ask Siri to dictate your message and select the contact.
3. Options: After dictation, choose one of the following options:
- Review: Siri reads your message before sending it.
- Change: Edit your message.
- Send: Send the message to your contact. For example: “Hey Siri, send [contact name] a message on Telegram.”
Receiving Messages:
When a message arrives, a notification will display. To respond, tap the notification. Siri will read the message aloud, and you’ll have three options:
- Reply: Respond to the message.
- Call: Call the message sender.
- Read Again: Siri reads the message again.
You can also choose the “Skip” option to ignore the message, and by clicking the “Announce” button, Siri will automatically read new messages as they arrive.
Make Calls
If you want to call someone, simply open the app and tap the Call button. You can also trigger Siri and speak the contact’s name or number to initiate the call. For instance, you can say, like “Hey Siri, call [contact name] on Telegram.” To attend the incoming call, use the screen buttons on CarPlay to accept or decline or press the steering wheel button to manage the call.
