If you’ve been having a hard time using CarPlay lately, then you’d better update your iPhone to iOS 14.6 because there’s a good chance the glitch you’re struggling with has been fixed.
While Apple hasn’t included any mention of CarPlay fixes in the official release notes of this new iPhone operating system update, I’m seeing several reports online that claim it addresses some rather widespread glitches in the car. Those include a Siri bug preventing the assistant from reading a message.
For example, several users in this reddit thread complain that Siri stops reading a new text before reaching the end. The assistant has encountered other issues as well, with some claiming that the audio is interrupted even when running navigation apps.
In other words, Siri can no longer provide navigation directions because it stops before offering the full instructions, therefore affecting the overall experience on CarPlay.
And as it turns out, iOS 14.6 does resolve the Siri cutting out problem. Someone confirmed in a post that the update brings things back to normal and the assistant correctly provides audio feedback whenever required.
Furthermore, I’m also seeing reports from some users that a crash previously encountered when running Apple Music is completely resolved now. However, I’m still waiting for some confirmation on this one.
The bad news is that others are still experiencing CarPlay crashes, with one user explaining that the audio or the input freezes until the iPhone is manually reconnected. The whole thing showed up when installing iOS 14.5.1, but it persists after this new operating system Apple released this week.
As always, Apple hasn’t acknowledged these problems, so everybody’s hoping the new operating system updates released to their iPhones resolve them quietly. A new beta build of iOS is also available, though these are specifically aimed at testers and shouldn’t be installed on production devices.
