I’ve been on Reddit for over a decade. But I’m done with that site and want to do something else. What do normal people look at on their phones? Is it all social media? Streaming?

    I used to try to use voice control for changing media when driving, but found it hilariously unreliable since it had to try to parse the voice command through the music. Is there a trick to that besides having a better mic I’m missing?

      Idk what system you’re using but I use CarPlay and android auto. Both of them are able to mute when I press the chat button or if I yell “hey whatever”

        Older vehicle, so it’s basically just the phone and either an aux cable or bluetooth receiver, so that probably explains some of it 😅

      I dunno about everything, but my car has a talk button on the steering wheel, I think you press it to answer the phone or whatever, but when Android Auto is active, that button works the same as saying “OK Google”. I would imagine it does something similar with CarPlay. Maybe you have a similar button?

        In my car (2016), Bluetooth supports phone calls and that’s it, so I have a separate Bluetooth receiver always plugged into my aux port. So I have to cycle music manually.

        Similar to the other person that replied to ya, I’m in an older vehicle so I don’t have anything like that in mine, instead relying on either aux cable or bluetooth receiver to connect the phone to the audio system. It got to the point that I got a bluetooth media remote to get around the unreliability of voice commands.
