How to adjust CarPlay accessibility settings for vision

With CarPlay accessibility features for vision, you can make it easier to read text and differentiate colors on the CarPlay touchscreen in your car.

You can apply filters for color vision deficiencies, change the text size, or view the entire screen in grayscale. You can also make the text bold so it’s easier to read. And with Voice Control, the microphone of your iPhone lets you control CarPlay with voice commands.

Note: CarPlay isn’t available in all countries or regions.
