CarPlay is about to get the Messages feature I’ve been waiting for

9to5mac.com Ryan Christoffel 2025-10-18 05:45:22

It’s turning out to be a huge year for CarPlay, surprising many of us after years of middling updates. Among the host of new CarPlay features coming in iOS 26, there’s a key fix for what’s long been the most annoying Messages issue for me: the lack of tapbacks support. CarPlay in iOS 26 adds support for Messages tapbacks Ever since Apple unveiled the “next generation of CarPlay” in 2022, new updates for the standard CarPlay experience have been fairly underwhelming.

Ubisoft is releasing a free Discovery Tour app covering the history of Baghdad, the setting of Assassin's Creed Mirage . The game launched in 2023 without Ubisoft's "Discovery Tour" feature, a mode that's previously been packed into Assassin's Creed games — starting with 2017's Assassin's Creed Origins — and uses the game's open-world maps and character models to illustrate the history and cultural specifics of their chosen setting. This new app takes a slightly different approach, reworking th

Apple is set to release iOS 26 this fall -- I'm predicting in less than two weeks -- and it will bring Liquid Glass, call screening and more features to your iPhone. But iOS 18 upgrades your Messages app so that it can solve tricky equations without your Calculator app, and it doesn't need Google to look up conversion rates, either. Prior to iOS 18, if you wanted to figure out how to split a bill with your texting group from afar, you'd have to use your calculator app or Spotlight and then swit

It appears that it was US military communications doctrine to not send the exact same message twice using different encryption ("none" counting as one type of encryption), and the term of art for changing a message to avoid that was indeed "paraphrase".
