Enable Alexa messaging?

[cjbot3000]

The Alexa app has to have the biggest dumpster fire of a UI I've ever seen...

I can't use messaging without enabling it in the app ... But where!? It has phone permissions and app permissions wherever I've found them not a-bag keeps telling me to allow messaging in the app

Does anyone with an Android know the cheat code? A specific location for the feature that I apparently can't locate?

My understanding is they got rid of that feature a few years ago. So have to use phone talking servant. Yes, it sucks.

Everything else is pretty much great, unless you visit this site too often. Lol.

Well, in true Amazon fashion, their removal was half-baked and there are still references to it within the app.

...

Harumph.

Amazon didn't remove it, Rivian hasn't implemented it. I have an Echo Auto in my son's car and it does text messaging like a champ.

And the messaging @cjbot3000 circled is referencing sending messages to and from Echo devices.

Ah that makes ... Some ... Sense. They could have done that better.

I thought it would be part of the new phone app, I guess.

Alexa tells me, specifically, to allow messaging in the app when I try to tell the rivian to send a message via a-bag

Yep, she's done this from day one. I think they will roll out text support in the near future, but likely won't be the native Alexa feature.
