Apple Adds 6 Apps to CarPlay, Bringing ChatGPT, Google Meet and WhatsApp Upgrades

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.
