iOS 26 lets you watch videos via CarPlay for first time (when parked)
- Apple will allow iPhone users to stream videos to their CarPlay screens for the first time with the release of iOS 26, but only when parked.
- This new feature enables AirPlay wireless video streaming from iPhones to CarPlay-compatible displays.
- Strict safety measures will be in place to prevent distracted driving, with video playback only available when the vehicle is stationary.
- Automakers need to enable support for CarPlay with AirPlay video capabilities for this feature to work in vehicles.
- The video streaming capability could be beneficial for electric vehicle owners who often spend time parked at charging stations.
- This move brings Apple closer to what some automakers, like Tesla, already offer with in-vehicle entertainment systems.
- Previously, users had to resort to unofficial methods for video playback on CarPlay, but now legitimate video streaming will be supported.
- Other enhancements in iOS 26 for CarPlay include redesigned interface elements, expanded widget functionality, and updates to core applications.
- The rollout timeline and availability may vary based on safety regulations and automaker schedules.
