Texting UI on the R2?

[elektrode]

but then, I generally hate group texts

As long as shouting “Leave group text!” works, I’m good.

It’s been a long 3+ years without basic text features.

Group messaging is a big reason many of us yap about CarPlay. It's such a simple, and common use case, and it's never implemented in any native systems.

Over 50% of my on-the-go messaging is groups, for either work or social things. It's ridiculous that my $200 motorcycle helmet intercom and do it, and my $100k truck can't. So stupid.

So is there actually different software for the R2 that the R1 doesn't get?

I get the ask for Rivian to incorporate some sort of texting app, but honestly, I already have that in my R1S and Siri. I just ask Siri to text a person or group, say what I need to say and it’s off. And receiving a message is just as simple as asking Siri to read my messages. It all works thru the Rivian audio and it’s hands free.
Am I missing something here?

Maybe some how android does this differently with your R1 but what I think you’re talking about is a workaround…..i can say siri read my texts. And it’ll only read texts in order. There’s no visual indicator, without looking at your phone, of who text you. I haven’t figured a way to read texts out of order. Also, i leave my phone on silent, 99% of its existence (and or vibrate only). In this case there’s no audio, And no visual cue that Ive received a text. Apple’s messaging app, through carplay, at least shows you a notification and allows you to pick who’s message you want to have read.

Yeah, and it's just the protocol, the needs to support MMS or RCS, vs. the ancient SMS (which breaks out messages into single recipients).

It's 2026, it's f-ing absurd
