JAKARTA – Apple again presents a refreshment for Carplay in the iOS 18.4 update! Even if the second generation carplay is still under development, Apple continues to provide a new touch to the existing carplay. After already adding the functionality and management of Apple Intelligence for the NACS route for Ford electric cars, there are now three new features that have officially launched.
1. Rows of application icons increase to three lines
One of Carplay’s challenges is to adjust the appearance to the different sizes of the car’s head screen. Now, with iOS 18.4, Carplay can display three rows of application icons, especially for vehicles with large additional infotainment screens. This certainly makes access to favorite applications faster and more comfortable, especially for luxury cars users with Jumbo screens!
2. Sports application now available on Carplay
Sports fans will be satisfied with this update! Apple has published a new API that allows sports score applications to appear on Carplay. Start iOS 18.4, applications that present the correspondence scores can be integrated directly into the Carplay display. So you can continue to update with your favorite team score by driving. Even if he takes time to third -party applications to adopt this feature, many users hope that Apple Sports will soon obtain official support.
3. Settings of default navigation applications in the European Union
Good news for users in Europe! With iOS 18.4, users of the European Union can now define their choice of default navigation applications, no longer having to use Apple cards. Do you want to use Google Maps or Waze? Just define it in the settings, and Siri will automatically use the application of your choice when you give navigation commands, such as “Take me to …” This function promises a more flexible and complicated driving experience.
Although these new features are not too pronounced for all users, especially those that use cars with small screens or outside Europe, the presence of these updates remains positively welcomed. Pending the official launch of Carplay 2, any improvement in the current version of Carplay is a step forward that deserves the appreciation.
