No voice commands

[u/No-Angle-982]

Voice control worked when I first tested AA three or four years ago (with an earlier app version), but I've since used the car's own nav & maps exclusively, until I stopped paying for a data SIM for the car recently (which had provided real-time traffic info).

To get traffic info back, I've again used AA but now find there's no voice control for making phone calls and setting destinations.

My car requires Bluetooth and a wired USB connection, which I don't mind. But I do mind losing Android Auto voice control, presumably because of app "updates."

Or maybe I'm just missing a necessary setting in my phone. Any ideas about what/where to check?
