While individual car brands have offered streaming apps as part of their infotainment suite, particularly Netflix is about to become a whole lot more accessible thanks to official Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support.

According to some reports, the newest beta version of Android Auto contains specific clues that Google is about to allow streaming apps in their Auto interface, meaning services like Netflix, YouTube, and Disney+ might soon make their way there.

Funnily enough, there are similar clues in iOS 26.4, where it seems that Apple will utilise the AirPlay function to let iPhone users beam content to the in-car screen.

There's no specific timetable on these features on either platform, but it would seem we're weeks from this being proper introduced.
