Apple Expands Live Activities Feature to CarPlay in Latest iOS Update

Apple has integrated its Live Activities feature into CarPlay with the iOS 26 update, allowing drivers to view real-time information directly on their in-car displays. This enhancement aims to reduce distractions by keeping essential updates accessible without app switching. The rollout also includes visual redesigns and expanded widget support for a more cohesive user experience.

Live Activities Comes to CarPlay with iOS 26

Apple has expanded its dynamic Live Activities feature to CarPlay as part of the iOS 26 update, according to reports. Originally introduced with iOS 16.1, Live Activities enables users to monitor real-time events—such as sports scores, food delivery progress, and navigation details—directly from their iPhone’s Lock Screen or Dynamic Island. Analysts suggest this move represents Apple’s ongoing effort to extend interactive features beyond handheld devices into in-car systems and macOS.
