Apple's iOS 18 brings a range of impressive features such as a new password app, a fresh Control Center, a personalized home screen experience and much more. Apple didn't mention much about CarPlay during the launch event, but iOS 18 also brings several useful additions to Apple's in-car interface. This includes new wallpapers, Siri improvements, accessibility enhancements and more. These new additions and changes are sure to improve your infotainment experience behind the wheel. Read on to learn about all the new CarPlay features in iOS 18.

Apple always prioritizes accessibility features on all its devices. Now, the latest iOS 18 expands the accessibility features of CarPlay with some new offerings. One of them is color filters that will tint the entire CarPlay user interface based on the color you choose. This will help users with visual impairments or suffer from some degree of color blindness. You can choose between red/green, green/red and a blue/yellow filter. There is also a grayscale option for a monochrome look. Each filter allows you to choose between low, medium and high intensity levels so you can enjoy a more personalized CarPlay interface.

In addition to color filters, there's another vision-based accessibility option in iOS 18 that lets you bold text all over the CarPlay interface. This is a super useful extension that makes text easier to read on the go.

There is a new CarPlay feature in iOS 18 designed for people with motor or physical disabilities. The voice control feature gives you the freedom to control all CarPlay settings just by speaking, even without having to call Siri. When enabled, you can easily navigate CarPlay by saying commands like Open Maps, Go Home, Open Spotify, Tap Play, Tap Pause, and by saying Tap or Tap next to any other button you can see visibly on the screen. It works quite well and even over low volume music.
