Apple updates CarPlay with widgets and Liquid Glass

Apple's redesigning all of its software this year, and CarPlay's no exception.

In a short recap of new features, during the company's opening keynote at WWDC Monday, Apple gave CarPlay a nod, mentioning it's a feature that's used "more than 600 million times per day."

Just like iOS 26, CarPlay has been updated with the company's new Liquid Glass look.

There are also a couple of new features, including a compact design during a call, as well as support for Live Activities.

CarPlay is also getting support for widgets, meaning the widgets from your iPhone will now work on your car's infotainment's display. Neat!

Apple said the updates are coming to CarPlay Ultra, the company's new infotainment experience that's only live in an Aston Martin car (for now).
