How do I make CarPlay privacy decisions?

There doesn’t appear to be a way to control what level of privacy I want when using CarPlay. For instance when an acquaintance is in the passenger seat of my car—and I want to limit what is accessible and viewable in CarPlay, how can I do that?


I may even want to have the phone not be a part of the experience—maybe I only want maps and one of my podcast apps available, and maybe music.


To me these seem like basic choices I should have easily available. Is there any support for this or announced plans?

No announced plans for something like that.


The closest you could come to this would be to move "approved" icons to a second screen and toggle/swipe back and forth between the two depending on who is in the car.


But you (currently) cannot have the same icon on two screens (just like the iPhone itself) so I do not know if this would be a complete solution for you.
