ChatGPT for Apple CarPlay falls short on basic controls

Apple’s iOS 26.4 allows users to run a dedicated ChatGPT app on CarPlay and hold voice conversations, with past chats shown on screen. The feature is designed to minimize visual interaction while driving, so it does not support text input or reading long answers. Users must open the app manually each time, and it cannot control an iPhone or vehicle settings like Siri. Reviews say it feels more like a standalone chat app than a voice assistant.
