Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Element is actually not usable with CarPlay, contrary to some other messaging apps, amongst others Telegram, WhatsApp, or of course iMessage. It is, imho a big lack of the platform, as implementing CarPlay for messaging apps ensure that peoples won't look at there phones when receiving a message, and will be able to send message concentrating on the road.

Describe the solution you'd like Integrating CarPlay messaging in itself is really easy. The only part that might take some time is requesting the entitlement from Apple (everything is described here

Describe alternatives you've considered Using other IMs platforms

I really like matrix and element ios, but this is a shortcoming. Just this morning I needed to call my wife who was driving and used element to do so, however she could not answer because it does not integrate with CarPlay. I had to call her using iMessage/FaceTime which worked perfectly.
