MacRumors • • technology
Key Points:
- Apple’s CarPlay system has added support for three popular apps this week: ChatGPT, Google Meet, and Audiomack, enhancing in-car access to voice conversations, meetings, and music streaming.
- The ChatGPT app on CarPlay enables voice-based conversations with the AI chatbot, showing past conversation titles but not the text or images for safety reasons.
- Google Meet on CarPlay allows users to join meetings with one tap, check upcoming schedules, and participate in audio calls, though video calls are not supported on the interface.
- Audiomack’s CarPlay app offers streaming and downloading of music, focusing on independent artists and genres like Afrobeats and hip-hop, with features such as Discover, Charts, Playlists, and My Library.
- WhatsApp is beta testing a revamped CarPlay app that will improve upon its current limited Siri-based functionality by showing recent chats, phone calls, and favorite contacts directly on the dashboard.
