GoKawiilMusixmatch, a popular third-party lyrics app for iPhone, is out with a big update today. You can now use Musixmatch to follow along with lyrics via CarPlay when listening to Apple Music or Spotify.
Live lyrics for Apple Music in CarPlay
Musixmatch is tapping into CarPlay’s support for Live Activities to offer lyrics support. The lyrics appear on your CarPlay screen as a Live Activity and update in real-time. You can’t view lyrics in the actual Musixmatch app on CarPlay like you can on iPhone.
