Re: Controlling speaker output when using driving directions from Apple's Maps app (iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17.4
The easy answer is probably to disable Bluetooth when using Maps. Bluetooth is easily switched on and off in the Control Center (swipe down from top right). It’s a crude solution, but since your hearing aids connect via bluetooth, this would prevent the phone from connecting, routing sound to the phones speaker. I do this sometimes when my phone insists on connecting to my car or other devices via Bluetooth. It's the fastest way to stop it.
When connected to CarPlay via USB, I don’t know how to NOT have the audio play through the cars speakers so I’m not sure how to help there, but I’m curious so I will look into it.
When using the phone, the app offers connection options, but I’ve never seen Maps do that.

Controlling speaker output when using driving directions from Apple's Maps app (iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17.4
I’ve discovered recently that under some circumstances when I use Apple’s iOS Maps.app for driving directions, I’m unable to change the sound output device. Typically, ?incoming sound is routed to my Phonak BT hearing aids (actually, Phonak marketed by Costco), and I cannot figure out out how to route that sound instead ?either to the iPhone’s “phone against my ear” portal or to the “speaker” portal. When I’m in my own car, particularly if I’m connected by USB to Apple CarPlay, sometimes the car’s infotainment system will seize and route the audio traffic to itself, but I don’t know how to MAKE that happen, and often I forget to activate CarPlay when I’m in a rental.
I spent a few days last week in the LA Basin, so I went to the nearest genuine Apple Retail Store (remember, there are none within almost 1,000 miles of my Bozeman home, where I asked that question of a sales associate. Clearly he didn’t know what he was talking about. He insisted that I’d need to speak to the people who sold me the hearing aids to get an answer to my question.
Can anyone here help me with this? If not, I’ll call Apple Support and see what I can learn there.

No problems here, Tony.
May I suggest that you turn off your ‘phone - completely (slide bar) - and then restart it.
Then go to Settings > General > Software Update and set things in motion once more.
Good luck!

Re: Do I have anything to worry about?
We can’t tell from what you shared with us, but another indicator that something might be a phishing attempt, is if it is not sent to one if your valid e-ddresses, or one does not appear because it was sent by BCC , or blind carbon copy.?
A BCC can indicate it was sent to multiple people in a lazy phishing attempt. A computer doesn’t mind sending out 5,000 copies to 5,000 different e-ddesses. Human coders are sometimes lazy and just code the mailing list in with BCC, instead.?

Re: Do I have anything to worry about?
It looks like phishing to me for a few reasons, but because the text has been translated and we don’t have the full email, it’s hard to be sure. There’s nothing in what you’ve sent that clearly indicates that it is not from Apple. I do not receive emails like that one. I just logged in on an “untrusted” device to test and no email.
As for security, obviously there’s nothing wrong with changing your password as often as you wish, but never follow any links in the email. Go to your ?directly. You should also have two-factor authentication on in some form.
You can also, at any time, check to see “who” might be signed in. I do this whenever I go into my ID and remove any old or unrecognized devices.?
Cheers,

Re: Do I have anything to worry about?
First, I don’t think his account was accessed.?
Two, it is possible to access an iCloud account using Windows, so that part is irrelevant. It hardly indicates whether or not the account was accessed.?
Either way, he changed the password. I would stop worrying, but check the account over the next week.?

Of course. It was also in the back of my mind that yesterday I’d done some online stuff from a Windows terminal at the library, but that didn’t involve iCloud. Thanks for the reassurance.

Yesterday, I was unable to send iMessages (blue backgrounds) to my son. Currently, he does not have an active eSIM in his iPhone Xr ?running iOS 17.3.1. He’s visiting us for 3 weeks while moving from Mexico to Poland, which is why he doesn’t have an active SIM). However, I’ve been able to send him iMessages both when he was in Mexico and while here on our WiFi, public WiFi, and (I think, even transmitted to his iMessages account over the cell networks (although I’m less certain of that.
When I composed and attempted to send him iMessages yesterday, a message would pop up saying that iMessage needed to be enabled on my device before the message could be sent, but when I looked at my iPhone’s settings, EVERYTHING related to sending messages as iMessages WAS enabled, and we were both using the same public WiFi at the time.
Curiously, if I launched the FaceTime app and created a text within IT, it DID get sent as an iMessage.
Anyone have any ideas what’s going on here?
Yesterday, we were in?
