iPhone text messaging through idrive works only partially.

Is this a software error?

Android phones do send and receive text messages perfectly through I drive on the 2019 330i, this also being idrive 7, which is also already installed in other BMW models.

Can anybody help with this issue?
Works perfectly well for me through Apple Car Play.
