iPhone owners can now join work meetings directly from their car’s dashboard, Google has rolled out a nifty new update for Apple CarPlay users. Announced earlier, this is a big deal as it arrives in Apple’s ecosystem ahead of Google’s own Android Auto. It focuses on driver safety by eliminating distractions from work audio or video calls. Users can click to join scheduled meetings, check calendars for upcoming meetings, and chat hands-free through their car speakers.
It’s super easy and quick to use: Just launch CarPlay, tap the Meet tile, and tap to join the meeting. You can mute, switch calls, or leave the call, but there are no chat, poll, or screen sharing options, and the camera remains off. It extracts audio from the iPhone’s microphone and works on iPhones running iOS 17 or later. It works for personal accounts and workspace accounts, but it may take about 15 days to show up everywhere as this is not a global rollout.
Android Auto users will have to wait for this feature to make its way to their ecosystem – it’s coming soon, but no exact date has been confirmed yet. As remote work booms, Google prioritizes secure, mobile productivity. This could change the way professionals everywhere commute, and as Android catches up, in-car meetings could become the norm without compromising safety.
Meanwhile, Android Auto is already shaking up Microsoft Teams with audio calling, hinting at what’s next for Meet. Mercedes-Benz’s 2026 CLA sedan ups the ante with in-car Teams cameras (which turn off video while driving) and chat features. CES 2026 showcased Garmin’s AI pod, equipped with a multi-screen Android operating system that enables voice commands and personalized audio. In-car offices are heating up quickly, with more hybrid work techniques set to emerge this year.
