CarPlay is not loaded on my iPhone 8

Hi Larrafrom FL,

CarPlay is found in Settings > General on your iPhone. If you don’t see it there, do you have any restrictions enabled? Go to Settings > Screen Time to help you verify. If you do, turn them off, and see if CarPlay appears. If you still don’t see it, restart your iPhone and check again:

Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Also, ‘on some vehicle models, CarPlay Home appears automatically when you connect iPhone. If CarPlay Home doesn’t appear, select the CarPlay logo on your vehicle’s display.’ You can read more about this here:

Connect iPhone to CarPlay

Cheers.

Depending on where you are located, or where you purchased the iPhone, CarPlay is not available in all locations. See this support document with information about iOS Features and locations. iOS and iPadOS - Feature Availability - Apple
