Default Text message display

Today I noticed that new incoming text message display is not working. In fact, I am not getting any incoming texts to my Boom display. All the options to be receiving texts are activated on my bike and my iPhone. It was working the last time I rode, about a month ago. I have double checked everything, including deleting my phone from the Boom display and reinstalling it both on my iPhone and Boom unit, including checking the "allow notifications on my phone. Is there a new software update...? My current version is; M21.20.28.00 Thanks

Sometimes it is just a matter of turning your phone off and turning it back on.

The iPhone has stopped sharing your texts with the Boom! system.

That's what you have to check.
