Never.

However, Android Auto has a method where you can use voice commands and speech to text to respond to texts verbally, and I have used that. But it's the same as having a conversation in the car.

@ElwoodBlues I've never used that feature. I usually just leave the phone alone when I'm in the car. If anyone calls I just avoid it and call back later.

@SW-User Yeah, I should mention that it offers to read the text to you, then asks for a response. You can always ignore it, but I like how you can keep your eyes on the road, hands on the wheel, and sometimes provide a useful text response.

@ElwoodBlues That sounds pretty useful actually. I should check it out.
