Default iPhone 6s Plus no longer pushing texts to the screen

Anyone get a 6s or 6s Plus and got their text messages to show on the big screen?

I was fine when I had an Android but work switched me to an iPhone and now it doesn't work. I have show notifications enabled.

My iPhone 6S allows text messages to appear on the the big screen. Make sure you turned on notifications in Bluetooth setting on your phone. Go to settings, Bluetooth, blue "i" icon, turn on "Show Notifications".

I had mine enabled but as others have said perhaps it need to be reset. Thanks for the tip. I will try it after work today.

For anyone who has an Apple Watch, I have noticed that it takes over for everything. My music will still play through BT, but texts, phone calls, etc all go through my watch.

I also noticed that BT streaming stops playing when u activate camera. It wasn't like this with iOS 8 though. The only time my music stops is if I activate video mode.

I now have 6s plus with ios 9.

I deleted the BT connection and recreated it. Turned on each and every notification in iPhone and it's still NOT working.

The phone is connected and the messages button is lit up but when I press it, it shows zero messages on the screen. Maybe the 2013s don't work with the new iPhone 6s Plus and IOS 9.02?

It's weird. If I switch back to my Note4, it works fine. iPhone just doesn't like me. LOL

Also, are you getting alerts also when you get iMessages? I originally had thought that it only works with SMS but I'm getting neither. Sigh. Oh well, not a big deal for me.
