The accelerated development of Android Auto continues, as evidenced by the fact that just last month we talked about the launch of Android Auto 13, and now we are moving to two versions of Android Auto 13.2. The good thing about releasing so many successive versions is that Google is working on a lot of new features, such as new apps that are compatible with Android Auto, the ability to use radio in Android Auto, and more.
But that’s not all the benefits. When you step on the gas pedal, as in app development, mistakes are inevitable; and when they happen, they can affect a large number of users who have no idea what’s going on because Google isn’t as transparent as it should be and doesn’t communicate the changes it’s applying to Android Auto.
In the new Android Auto 13.2, we may see the effect of this policy. As usual, the new version appeared on Google Play without fanfare, and only users who tried the update realized that there was a new version; in the same way Google also did not disclose this news. this version.
In theory, Android Auto 13.2 should lay the groundwork for recently announced news like Qualcomm and Google’s collaboration to bring artificial intelligence into the car, as well as the latest Google Maps news that includes a navigation mode with improved graphics and the ability to add point-of-interest stops along your route.
However, if you’re happy with Android Auto right now, it might be best to wait for the next version, just in case. And at the same time with this new version, there are many complaints from users claiming that The update broke calls in the car
which makes it completely unusable if we depend on this hands-free feature.Specifically, users say that when they make calls using Android Auto, The sound comes out through the mobile phone speaker, not through the car speakers.; This makes figuring out what they are telling us much more difficult, if not impossible. The only thing these users can do is to increase the volume of their mobile phone to the maximum, because if they pick up the phone, they may become distracted and cause an accident or be fined by the DGT camera or civil guard. Users of Google Pixel mobile devices seem to be the hardest hit at the moment.
It’s unclear if this latest version of Android Auto is causing the problem. To be on the safe side, users who are currently using Android Auto and have no issues should probably wait for the next version as there is no compelling reason to upgrade. But if we suffer from this failure, the opposite may be better for us: install the update as soon as possible
just in case Google fixed the “bug”.
