You can now use ChatGPT with Apple’s CarPlay

ChatGPT is now accessible from your CarPlay dashboard if you have iOS 26.4 or newer and the latest version of the ChatGPT app, 9to5Mac reports. Apple’s recently launched iOS 26.4 update added support for “voice-based conversational apps” in CarPlay, opening the door to let you use AI chatbots with voice features through Apple’s in-car platform. When using ChatGPT through CarPlay, the app doesn’t show text conversations, according to 9to5Mac — instead, you can only have conversations with the app using your voice. (Apple’s developer guidelines ask that apps don’t show text or imagery as responses.) The CarPlay app isn’t completely devoid of text, though, as there’s onscreen buttons to mute and end the conversation. You can also look at a list of recent conversations you’ve had with ChatGPT, according to MacRumors. But you can’t use a wake word to use ChatGPT through CarPlay — you’ll have to tap on the app to open it up.
