With iOS 16.2 software, users will be able to share digital car keys with non-iPhone users.

According to TechCrunch, the company said that this capability will extend to other devices with Android 12+ in the future.

The company added that it has been working with the Internet Engineering Task Force and other industry players to establish a standard for sharing digital keys across platforms.

The digital car keys can be shared via email, text message and WhatsApp.

When Apple first introduced digital car keys in 2020, iPhone users were able to share them via iMessage, Apple’s instant messaging service, according to the report.

According to an Apple post, digital car keys can usually be added to the Apple Watch (Series 5 or later or the Apple Watch SE) with the latest version of watchOS.
