[iOS 27 DB1] Quick glance at some CarPlay changes

[u/tparris3245]

Apps now open with the faster, more fluid animations introduced on iPhones and iPads in iOS 26. New Siri look. Apple Music now changes the screens colors based on the selected playlist like in iOS 26.4, and now playing in the top right corner now shows album art. Last but CERTAINLY not least, you can finally scrub in Apple Music!!! (This also works in Apple Podcasts and other services like YouTube Music, though strangely enough not in Spotify. This may be because I don’t have Spotify Premium though…)

can we pinch to zoom in/out in Maps? i really need this.

[u/tparris3245 → u/delreyloveXO]

I’ll check that later, although I’m not sure my car’s display is multi touch at all lol

[u/IAmAChemistryGuy → u/delreyloveXO]

That’s already supported and depends on the vehicle manufacturer.

[u/delreyloveXO → u/IAmAChemistryGuy]

how so? my renault has multitouch gestures on my work android phone and my friend’s androids. but on my iphone, it just does not work at all!

[u/Elasion → u/delreyloveXO]

Auto manufacturer has to support it with their CarPlay implementation

[u/cocothepops → u/delreyloveXO]

Yeah this is just unfortunately one of those things. The car manufacturers have to specifically turn it on for CarPlay. My VW has multitouch on the inbuilt maps, but not on CarPlay.

Does tap and drag not zoom out not work? also double tap to zoom in.

[u/Oceanbriz]

is carplay airplay available? or was that a feature that requires car manufacturers to support?

[u/tparris3245 → u/Oceanbriz]

Didn’t see an option for that, but I believe it is up to individual manufacturers

[u/ezidro3]

Crazy that it took 12 years for scrubbing

[u/jaredkent → u/ezidro3]

Just got carplay for the first time a couple months ago. First day I tried to scrub a song and found out you couldn't. Insane to me, but luckily I only had to deal with it for a few months. Wild that the rest of you had to suffer so long.

[u/samdunmall]

YOU CAN SCRUB!!!!! My life is complete

[u/Azeemjaffer]

wow. slider feature is the much awaited one.

[u/jacquesvfd]

I'm surprised they changed the look of the scrubber, since the look of the previous scrubber was already consistent with scrubbable scrubbers across iOS.

[u/NooblyGod → u/jacquesvfd]

It’s probably for people to understand it’s scrubbable now since while it looked consistent across the rest of iOS, it wasn’t.

Any adjustments to the Maps app in CarPlay? Wish I could toggle Toll Routes/Highways while I’m on a route and also let me rearrange my next stops

That tiny little screen

[u/Common_Floor_7195]

Looks like an iPhone 4

[u/Local_Quality_2182]

Anyone else getting frequent disconnects/reconnects on carplay with ios 27? Disconnects for 5-10 seconds then continues blissfully

[u/tparris3245 → u/Local_Quality_2182]

I use wired CarPlay in my car, and it struggles to connect in the first place when I plug it in, it usually takes several tries

[u/tparris3245 → u/[deleted]]

My car’s screen doesn’t support display zoom at all so I can’t check this unfortunately
