I’ve noticed that WhatsApp is quite flaky now. If it’s trying to read multiple messages in a group chat, it stalls after the first message. Says something like “sorry there must be a problem with the app”.

IOS and WhatsApp are up to date.

Anyone else notice this?

Do you need ios 13 to have the new features or do you need to update apply carplay on the gti infotainment ?

FYI 99.5% of CarPlay happens on your iOS device.

^ this.

This is the beauty of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

I’ve seen at least 3 visual and UI updates to CP since I bought my car.

I also upgraded phones and noticed a huge upgraded in speed/performance.

Thanks..glad it's setup this way. I thought it was like a navigation system where you have to do over-the-air or cd updates to the actual unit.

Ive used apple carplay only twice since i bought my car in early 18.

Nope. The vast majority of the processes run on the iOS device and the device is just outputting a video signal to the entertain meant system in a given car. Each of which have compatible firmware bits that allow it to accept CarPlay display outputs.
