This is new to me. Android Auto; I've always been able to say "OK Google" then give instructions such as where I want to go.
Now I get this verbal message: "When it's safe, first tap notification, then use Google assistant whilst driving." What notification? What an I supposed to press? Where is it? What are they talking about? Have tried every button and icon - with the car stationary, and nothing works. Been through all my phone settings and Waze settings, have even ticked boxes that are normally disabled - no avail.
It always worked in the past, it's the same phone and same set-up as before. Pairing is the same and up to now everything has been seamless. Only change is haven't used the facility since lock-down. Has there been a Waze or Android update?
