Car play setting suddenly disappeared on my iPhone 11 Pro
Hello!
Yesterday morning I had Car Play working nicely (connected to a car) but when I drove back home in the evening, Car Play was not anymore available - Phone and Music do work via Bluetooth but no Car Play available to use phone apps (Phone, Waze, Maps, Google Maps, etc).
I thought the issue was with the car, so I made a force restart for the infotainment system, deleted connected phone and reconnected it - nothing helped.
Then I noticed in my iPhone itself that I do NOT any longer have a "Car play" option under the "General > Settings" menu in the 'Settings' app (see the screenshot and compare the menu with yours - you will have the "Car Play" right under the "Picture in Picture" option).
I've just updated iPhone to the latest iOS 15.2.1 but the issue is still the same - no "Car Play" option in the Settings.
And I do NOT use Screentime, so there are no restrictions being on.
Any ideas what else can be wrong / what can help? Does it mean I should try deleting/restoring the iPhone and re-install it from scratch or?
Many thanks in advance!
