Both Android and Apple are above all other operating systems on the basis of performance and quality. This is why the competition between the two continues to rise. The main apps of both Apple and Google are versatile and user friendly in their own regard but there are some features which determine the clear difference between them. \u00a0The smartphone integration systems are always taken as an added luxury to the comfort of drivers. This is what <strong>Android auto and Apple CarPlay<\/strong> does. Car brands seem to be divided for the choice of Apple and Android platform apps. Same goes for the common people. We have jotted down here all the distinguishing characteristics of both the apps to make the choice easier.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BFFONpMByUY\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Menu of Both Apps<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The menu of <strong>Apple CarPlay<\/strong> is designed in a <strong>complex organizational format<\/strong> and presented in a stylish way with large icons which open into sub menus. On the other hand menu of Android Auto doesn\u2019t have any submenus and is not complex at all. <em>The simplicity of the Android Auto makes it more user-friendly<\/em>. Apple CarPlay might not be perceived as complex for the common iPhone users but for people with the first-hand use, it surely poses challenges. Android Auto is interactive and simple which gives it a slight edge over Apple.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sellanycar.com\/cars-related\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/apple-carplay-in-major-car-brands.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-18718\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18718\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sellanycar.com\/cars-related\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/apple-carplay-in-major-car-brands.jpg\" alt=\"Mostly renowned car brands are introducing Apple CarPlay in all upcoming models\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sellanycar.com\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/apple-carplay-in-major-car-brands.jpg 624w, https:\/\/sellanycar.com\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/apple-carplay-in-major-car-brands-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Notification Settings<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Apple CarPlay is superior to Android Auto when it comes to the notification settings. <em>The notifications are more sequenced, ordered and prioritized in Apple CarPlay as compared to the Android Auto<\/em>. For Example in Apple CarPlay, the missed notifications are prioritized in a way that they appear in the form of a red circle on the home screen so that the user can easily check them. But the Android notifications are somewhat scattered as observed in the android smartphones too. While driving, you won\u2019t prefer to maneuver the notifications to find ones you want. This is where Apple CarPlay makes a better deal.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Messaging and Communication<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Apple\u2019s CarPlay messaging system is pretty much uniform but is somewhat limited. On the contrary, Android Auto offers more <strong>interactive communication<\/strong> and messaging in its platform. Apple CarPlay system only allows Apple\u2019s native messages applications but android system gives more options to the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> party applications for communication. <em>In Apple, messages are read through push buttons while the replying option through voice is carried out with the help of software \u201cSiri\u201d<\/em>. On the other hand, in Android Auto messaging system works through <strong>\u201ctext-to-speech\u201d<\/strong> system and has more versatile features to make the communication while driving easier.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Comprehensiveness of the Navigation Systems<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">CarPlay uses Apple\u2019s map that helps drivers to find destined routes but most of the users find <strong>Google map more reliable<\/strong> as the coverage comes from the world\u2019s largest search engine platform. Android Auto uses Google\u2019s map and tells the alternate routes, latest news about the traffic through vocal updates and most importantly keeps you on track with your important meetings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sellanycar.com\/cars-related\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/android-auto-app-in-new-cars.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-18719\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18719\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sellanycar.com\/cars-related\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/android-auto-app-in-new-cars.jpg\" alt=\"Android Auto is compatible with android smartphones and is user friendly\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sellanycar.com\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/android-auto-app-in-new-cars.jpg 624w, https:\/\/sellanycar.com\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/android-auto-app-in-new-cars-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Entertainment<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Both apps have their own high-quality music streaming platforms and especially for live streaming.\u00a0 Apple supports the <strong>iTunes, Dash radio, Overcast, Audible and Stitcher<\/strong> whereas Android allows <strong>Google play, Spotify, Tune-in radio and Radio player<\/strong>. Both Platforms provide smooth experience while driving and are hard to compare. It is up to your own inclining for some specific music platforms while driving that can urge you to either go for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Compatible Phones with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Apple CarPlay only supports its own devices including the iPhone6, iPhone6 Plus, iPhone5 and iPhone5c. <strong>Android Auto is compatible with any smartphone<\/strong> with Android platform that has Android\u2019s latest version installed in it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The table below gives a brief of all significant differences in both platform apps:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sellanycar.com\/cars-related\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/android-auto-apple-carplay-comparison-chart-e1458648767136.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-18720\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18720\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sellanycar.com\/cars-related\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/android-auto-apple-carplay-comparison-chart-e1458648767136.jpg\" alt=\"Android Auto and Apple CarPlay comparison Chart\" width=\"600\" height=\"455\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Our Verdict<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the basis of exclusivity of features, Apple CarPlay is the best bid. All applications of the Apple CarPlay are Apple\u2019s own property so the quality and trust levels are maximized in this case. You will get the desired quality with Apple CarPlay. But on the other hand, Android Auto App; despite of having multiple 3<sup>rd<\/sup> party apps maintains great standards. Your world seems bigger with the Android Auto App and the user friendliness increases. More than anything else, it depends upon your own ease of using an operating system and this is what potentially determines your choice for either Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you are planning to buy a new car, then don\u2019t forget that with us you can\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/uae.sellanycar.com\/site\/Evaluate\">sell your used car<\/a>\u00a0in 30 minutes while all the post sales paperwork is handled by SellAnyCar.com\u2019s team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple CarPlay and Android Auto might be same platforms in their basic purpose but have drastic changes in their actual built and method of functioning.
