CarPlay
Take your audio, navigation, messaging and more apps on the road, safely.
Overview
The CarPlay framework uses templates for lists, grids, maps and now playing, so apps look right and stay safe on every car display. Supported categories include audio, navigation, messaging and VoIP, EV charging, parking, quick food ordering and more.
Widgets and Live Activities appear on the CarPlay Dashboard, and CarPlay Ultra extends the experience across every screen in supported cars.
