2 articles · Updated · MacRumors · May 14
Six apps have reached CarPlay in recent weeks—ChatGPT, Perplexity, Grok, Google Meet, WhatsApp and Audiomack—and appear automatically once users update to the latest app versions.
iOS 26.4 opened CarPlay to voice-based conversational apps, letting chatbot services run audio interactions in the car while withholding conversation text and images for safety.
Google Meet now lets drivers join meetings with one tap, check upcoming schedules and take audio calls, while video remains blocked on the CarPlay interface.
WhatsApp’s revamped CarPlay app expands beyond its earlier Siri-only functions with recent chats, call lists and favorite contacts; Audiomack adds music discovery and library tabs for its indie-focused catalog.
