Google has officially released Android Auto 12.0, the latest version of the built-in app that connects to car dashboards and entertainment units.<\/p>\n
The update brings several changes, including new applications and features that aim to enhance the driving experience and allow people to use apps from their smartphones while on the road.<\/p>\n
On May 15, the company revealed through its developer blog<\/a> that more than 200 million cars are now compatible with Android Auto and almost 40 car models are even offering Google built-in.<\/p>\n One of the most notable features is the introduction of more entertainment-based apps, including the arrival of video streaming applications like Max and Peacock.<\/p>\n While this sounds like a disaster waiting to happen, safety measures have been implemented to make sure the apps are only accessible when the vehicle is parked and not in motion.<\/p>\n The Angry Birds game is also available in select cars with Google built-in and the Uber Driver app is visible in Android Auto<\/a>. This will speed up the process of Uber drivers accepting rides and deliveries, with the usual turn-by-turn directions appearing on a bigger screen.<\/p>\n For those who spend a lot of time in a parked car, Google Cast will now be possible meaning you can cast video content from your phone or tablet directly to the car.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not all fun and games, though, as the 12.0 version<\/a> has brought in improvements to the system\u2019s stability and compatibility. Potential bugs are said to have been identified and fixed which should result in a more reliable user experience.<\/p>\n The app\u2019s compatibility with a wider range of car models has been boosted too which should reduce connectivity issues if it works as it should.<\/p>\n You just need to update the Android Auto app in the Google Play Store to receive the 12.0 version.<\/p>\n A manual installation is possible too with the APK file being available on APK Mirror.<\/p>\n Featured Image: Via Ideogram<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nHow to get the Android Auto 12.0 update<\/b><\/h2>\n
