Google Meet is now available on Apple CarPlay for iPhone users to “join meetings safely while on the road.”. Google Meet will appear on your car’s infotainment display. The app will let you “join meetings with a single tap, view your upcoming schedule, and participate in audio-only calls to maintain focus on driving.” You will be able to hear audio from the meeting and “have audio input access from your microphone.” Sound will automatically transfer from your phone or earbuds to the car’s speakers. 9to5Google is the main source layer for now, and the rest should be read as a signal that is still widening. On the device side, the useful angle is whether a technical change actually alters feel, lifespan, or upgrade cost in real use.
