Apple CarPlay has completely revolutionized the driving experience. Apple CarPlay allows you to integrate your iPhone with the dashboard of your car, giving you access to many of the iPhone features and functionality you love while driving. Apple CarPlay allows the driver to seamlessly use a variety of different apps with the touch of a button or through Siri voice control. However, which of the many apps on your iPhone can be used with Apple CarPlay? Below you can find eight of the most popular apps that Apple CarPlay is compatible with, although there are various other apps that are not listed.

1. Apple Maps
Apple CarPlay also functions as an advanced navigation system, using Apple Maps to provide you with step-by-step directions to any and all destinations. With a full-screen display of your map, along with easy to follow voice navigation, getting lost will be a thing of the past. Apple maps will also predict where you are going based on your texts, email, contacts, calendar, and past destinations, helping you stay on task and on schedule.
2. Phone
Access your phone through Apple CarPlay, making and accepting phone calls safely while driving. You can also have Siri make a call for you, allowing you to call up a friend without ever taking your eyes of the road.
3. Messages
Text messages are one of the primary causes of distracted driving. The bing or vibration that signals the arrival of a new text is enough for even the most disciplined driver’s eyes to veer away from the road and towards their phone. Apple CarPlay allows for integration with your Messages app, with Siri reading text messages aloud to you while also allowing you to dictate texts while driving. Drive safer and smarter with Apple CarPlay and the Messages app.
4. Apple Music
Access all of your music from your personal iTunes library or from your Apple Music subscription with the Music app. The app allows you to search for existing or new music by artist, album, or song, either through the touchscreen or through Siri.
5. Podcasts
No matter your passion, be it comedy, sports, politics, history, or something else entirely, there is a podcast for you. Listen and be entertained by the exciting discussions and compelling storytelling found in the seemingly endless Apple library of podcasts.
