Google Releases New Android Auto Update. Check Out New Upgraded Features
Android auto users are in line for a fairly sizable update. Google revealed a new look in design for android auto at its google io event last week. The main takeaway is newfound flexibility. Car makers are not exactly consistent with the various screen sizes and orientations used in vehicles. Many favour a wide-screen format while others prefer a vertically oriented portrait. There are so many others in between. This was problematic for android auto seriously because it wasn’t designed to fill the screen perfectly with every possible screen shape. It also has a fancy split-screen function that was only supported for a small number of vehicle
Now, however, Google says it has fixed the issue.
Android auto will now confirm to fit whatever size and shape your car screen is, be it tall or skinny or short and wide. A new split-screen function should work on every vehicle and beyond the better integration. The Android auto look itself refreshed to bring it more in line with the latest Android software. General UI should now look more familiar to those with Android phones running stock Android software; the aforementioned split-screen mode gets a new design for this version of Android Auto.
Google says that the data it has collected on how people use Android auto shows that Fox primarily uses it for navigation media and communication. Therefore the split screen view now consists of three tiles for those three things full stop this means that you can see your navigation current media and any missed Communications all in one place. You can also just enlarge any of those if you prefer to keep the focus on one particular app. Android Auto’s new design brings universal split-screen support, expanded assistant features, and enhanced messaging to improve the driving experience.
