Apple CarPlay's Big Update: Widgets and More!
Apple's WWDC2025 Unveils Major CarPlay Update: Widgets and Call Integration Enhancements Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC2025) brought exciting news for drivers with the announcement of significant upgrades to CarPlay. TechRadar's recent video provides a detailed overview of these changes. The most notable addition is the introduction of widgets, offering drivers quick access to essential information such as weather, calendar events, and music controls without interrupting navigation. "It's a game-changer," says one enthusiastic viewer. Another key improvement is the intelligent call handling; incoming calls will no longer obscure crucial driving directions. This enhances safety and improves the overall driving experience. These updates are also integrated into the new CarPlay Ultra, promising a more seamless and customizable interface across all in-car screens. The launch of CarPlay Ultra is expected to bring a new level of integration and personalization to the driving experience, making it more intuitive and user-friendly.
