Email senders may soon have their messages read by iOS users driving cars. Microsoft’s new Outlook for iOS Version 2.45 (20122801) includes a Try Car Mode, along with a Smart Compose feature, the firm announced this week. 

Microsoft describes the Car Mode as “a full screen experience designed to improve the PME experience for onboarded users while driving.”  

The company adds that the Car mode auto launches when auto play is turned on, and that users must open Outlook and not do anything for four seconds—the car mode then launches automatically. 

The Smart Compose feature suggests words and phrases for iOD users.
