Imagine being a proud owner of a GM vehicle from the years 2017 to 2020 only to discover that your in-car app store has suddenly vanished. That’s the unsettling reality for many drivers today. But here’s where it gets controversial—this change isn’t just a minor glitch; it’s a significant shift in how these vehicles handle app access. According to reports from GMAuthority, owners of certain GM models can no longer download new apps through their infotainment systems. If you had installed apps before, they might still work initially, but support for those apps is now discontinued. Plus, if you decide to delete an app or perform a factory reset, you’ll lose access entirely, effectively locking you out of features you once relied on. This move could spark debates about the future of car technology, user rights, and whether automakers should have such control over digital features inside our vehicles. Are we heading toward a world where our cars become more like smartphones—controlled and limited—rather than open platforms? Share your thoughts below—do you think this is fair, or is it a slippery slope toward more restricted driving experiences?
