In addition to the latest iPhone 16 series, AirPods 4, and Watch Series 10 models, innovations on the software side were announced at the Glowtime event held by Apple in recent weeks. iOS 18 was announced with iPhone 16 and became available for download on supported devices on 16 September. With the new update, new features have been added for Apple CarPlay. Here are the features coming to Apple CarPlay with iOS 18…
Personalisation and audio features for Apple CarPlay
Among the new accessibility features announced for iPhone users at the event, there are improvements such as Eye Tracking for Vision Pro, but these innovations have been expanded on the other side. Apply CarPlay, updated with iOS 18, generally draws attention with its features on the accessibility side. Innovations that will be especially useful for drivers with hearing impairments or poorly developed hearing come for voice control, personalisation, and maps.
If you notice in the Apple Maps application, there are a few minor differences in the overall design. While some icons have been relocated, brightness has been added to make these icons easier to find and understand. In addition, clearer designs are used for location markers.
With the statements made by Apple, the features that come for Apple CarPlay with iOS 18:
- Voice Control: Directing CarPlay by voice only and controlling applications
- Voice Recognition: System that recognises and warns about vehicle horns and sirens for deaf or hard of hearing drivers or passengers
- Colour Filters: CarPlay interface will become more visually useful for users with colour blindness
- Bold Text and Large Text: Bold and large text for visually impaired users
In addition, the Messages application now shows the photo of the people who sent the message. There is also an improved Silent Mode in the settings section. In this way, you can reflect the silent mode on the iPhone to the car. Finally, for the first time in CarPlay history, the personalisation feature for Wallpapers was offered.
