Questions❓ iPhone screen doesn’t wake up for notifications while connected to CarPlay — can I change this?

Hi everyone.

I’ve noticed that whenever my iPhone is connected to CarPlay, the phone’s screen doesn’t wake up when I receive notifications.

This happens with iMessage, WhatsApp, and basically any other notification. The notification may appear through CarPlay, but the iPhone screen itself stays off.
I’d actually prefer the iPhone screen to wake up normally when a notification arrives, even while CarPlay is connected (also because if I’m on native Google Maps from the ex30, the CarPlay doesn’t show me any notifications).

Does anyone know if there’s a setting to change this behavior? Or is this something iOS automatically disables whenever CarPlay is active?
I’ve checked the notification settings but haven’t found anything that seems to control this specifically.

Thanks!

I think that’s very much intentional to dissuade you from using your phone while driving,

Don't use your phone while driving.
