CarPlay now resembles Android Auto in reliability

The iOS 18.4 update has made CarPlay unreliable, reported pepelac.news. Once seen as a solid alternative to Android Auto, Apple’s system now faces a wave of user complaints.

Users report random disconnections, inability to pair with cars—especially via wireless. Apple released iOS 18.4.1 to fix this, but many say the update made things worse.

Reddit users have tried all possible solutions—restarts, re-pairing—but to no avail. Some have lost CarPlay access entirely.

There’s no official response from Apple. Experts recommend using a wired connection and checking for firmware updates on car infotainment systems.

Apple is reportedly working on the next update, but whether it addresses CarPlay issues remains unknown. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
