Apple expands CarPlay widget options with iOS 27 updates
Apple has updated its CarPlay system to allow users more customization through widgets on compatible vehicles running the latest software.
Setting up new dashboard features
Drivers can now add specific details from various apps to their display while parked. Users must open Settings and select General before choosing CarPlay to access these tools.
Differences between apps and widgets
Full applications like Maps occupy the entire screen for easy interaction during driving. Widgets instead appear in customizable stacks to show information from many other sources.
Broader selection of available tools
The latest software release increases the pool of compatible applications beyond previous limits. Owners can choose from recommended choices or browse a full list of installed apps.
