Importance on having CarPlay Facebook App

Facebook is one of the most famous social media and many people use it for both personal and business purposes. So it is really easy if the driver could reach Facebook from the widescreen of CarPlay, especially in scenarios such as follows:

Once you are stuck in traffic for minutes, or while waiting at a car park you can simply get updates about your favorite people, groups and pages.

When you are driving to a certain place related to a business and if their Facebook page is the only way to reach them we may happen to get the location through Facebook.

You can get quick updates with the notifications and if you are someone who runs a business and handles customer support through Facebook you can quickly get to know when someone is in need of help.

These are some common scenarios and it will be more useful for you based on what kind of Facebook user you are.
