Surprise! Google is launching Android Auto 13.1 without notice and we’ll tell you everything that changes

Android Auto 13.1 is now available: what you need to know

Google unexpectedly released Android Auto 13.1 directly to the Play Store, bypassing the beta testing phase. While this isn’t the first time this has happened, launches like this don’t happen often. We saw this before in version 13.0 and it’s happening again now, but what’s new in this update?

How to update to Android Auto 13.1

There are two ways to install this update on your mobile phone. The easiest is through the Google Play Store, although if you still don’t see the option to update, you can use APKMirror and download the new version manually. Either way, you can now enjoy the improvements it brings.

Internal changes, but no visual news

Google assured that Android Auto 13.1 includes various bug fixes and system improvements, although it did not specify which issues were resolved. One thing is clear: there are no aesthetic changes in this version. Neither the main panel nor the settings have any visible differences.

Despite the lack of visual innovation, it is important that the software improves its internal functioning. These types of updates help streamline the experience, although we’ll have to wait to see more noticeable new features in future versions.
