iOS 27.2 brings two new features to Apple's CarPlay
iOS 27.2 comes with some changes for Apple CarPlay, too.
Apple has unveiled iOS 27.2, which introduces two new features to Apple's CarPlay. The company has revamped the Podcasts app and enhanced Siri AI capabilities. In terms of CarPlay, users will notice the Podcasts app's Home tab has been altered. Instead of the "Up Next" section, there are now separate "New Episodes" and "Continue Playing" areas.
This change allows users to access the latest episodes of their favorite shows via the New Episodes section and resume watching from where they left off through the Continue Playing section.
Moreover, iOS 27.2 enhances Siri AI in CarPlay with the ability to recall past conversations. Users can ask Siri to repeat previous cafe recommendations or any other details from earlier chats. Additionally, Siri AI can now draw information from various sources, such as voicemails, Safari history and Reading List, attendees of Calendar events, and photos included in Messages.
Apart from these significant changes, iOS 27.2 also includes minor adjustments, like a new Music app icon. Apple has replaced the app's traditional red color with a monochromatic design, featuring a white background and black music note, or vice versa depending on the user's preference for dark mode. Some users on the CarPlay subreddit have reported that their infotainment systems no longer support APTV after updating to iOS 27.2, preventing them from streaming videos on their car screens.
