Google has recently begun pushing the Android Auto 17.6 update in phases through Google Play. The full version number is 17.6.6634. Due to the batch release, not all users will be able to receive the update at the first time, and it is expected to be released gradually before the end of this month.
One of the more easily noticed changes in Android Auto 17.6 is the redesign of the App icon. Google changed the original blue elements to green and adopted a more rounded shape. The overall vision is closer to Google’s product design in recent years. However, the new icon is currently being pushed out in stages, and some upgraded users will still see the old version of the icon.
In addition to interface adjustments, Google is also testing more quick operation functions. In the future, Android Auto may add a “Quick Settings” panel similar to Android phones. Users can swipe down directly from the top of the car screen to quickly turn on functions such as Do Not Disturb mode. It is still in the testing phase and has not yet been officially opened.
In addition, Google continues to explore ways to present weather information. In the future, it may display the current temperature and weather conditions through animated characters to make the car-machine interface more intuitive. Android Auto 17.6 is also expected to improve the connection problems encountered by some users recently, as well as system abnormalities caused by Gemini. Google is gradually letting Gemini replace Google Assistant as the hands-free voice assistant for Android Auto. As new features such as Widgets are added to subsequent versions, Android Auto is still expected to usher in more major changes this year.
