GoKawiilThe iOS 27 public beta is now available, and it includes several CarPlay changes worth checking out. Here’s what you should try after updating.
CarPlay features to try in iOS 27
Siri AI
Siri AI is the flagship feature of iOS 27, and it extends to CarPlay. In fact, I’ve found it to be especially useful via CarPlay. Siri AI can answer questions around your personal context, world knowledge, and much more in iOS 27.
For example, you can ask Siri to find a specific address or location in your email or text messages, then begin routing to that location, all while using just your voice.
Robust, hands-free control is important in the car, and iOS 27 finally gives Siri the power that it deserves in CarPlay.
Now Playing changes
CarPlay in iOS 27 offers a persistent “Now Playing” MiniPlayer throughout audio apps. This appears in the upper-right corner of the interface and shows playback controls and album artwork.
The Now Playing interface in CarPlay has also been updated to include an audio scrubber at long last. You can drag the scrubber to easily skip to different parts of a song or podcast without using steering wheel controls or reaching for your iPhone.
