SMS Apps

Hey everyone!

I'm curious to know if anything other than the stock SMS app for Android or IPhone will work with iDrive. I recently switched to Signal, and ever since texts will not show up in iDrive, but do appear in the Signal app. If I send a text via iDrive the text is received, but only in the stock app even though Signal is the default SMS app on the recipiants phone. I'm guessing the problem I'm having is due to the nature in which Signal process messages, that being end-to-end encryption.

Thanks!

I called BMW Genius about this. My M550 2020 I was able to read texts via the BMW app. They told me in 2023, with the new idrive they removed this feature
