How iOS 17 will change your car journeys with SharePlay auto

If you're old like me, you probably remember the days when we passed the auxiliary cable to share our favorite songs in the car. Well, Apple just made this experience even more fun and interactive with SharePlay for CarPlay. Come on, get in, I'll explain everything to you!

SharePlay in car: What is it?

Introduced discreetly during WWDC 2023, SharePlay auto is Apple's new feature that will revolutionize our car trips. Gone are the days when only the driver had the privilege of choosing the songs.

With SharePlay, each passenger can now participate in the musical celebration. Imagine: you're on your way to the beach with your friends, and everyone can add their favorite song to the playlist.

It's a bit like karaoke in the car, but without the wrong notes!

How does it work?

When the driver connects their iPhone to CarPlay, all passengers receive a notification inviting them to join the music session. Once connected, they can choose the next title to stream.

And the little extra? The system displays the name of the passenger who selected the current song.

So, who will be the DJ of the day?

In conclusion

SharePlay for Apple CarPlay is the new fashionable feature for all music lovers on the go. To have it now, just install the iOS 17 beta.

Otherwise you will have to wait for the release of iOS 17 at the end of September.

So, next time you hit the road, don't forget to share the vibe with your friends.

And who knows, maybe you'll discover your new favorite song thanks to one of them!
