Google is now releasing the Android Auto 14.0 update to more users. The update first came out in beta in mid-March. Now, it’s becoming more widely available.
Android Auto updates usually come in more frequently and Google has been quite quick in releasing recent versions. Android Auto 14 also came in faster than expected. Even though it comes with a few features, it all comes together to make Android Auto better and more user-friendly.
Few Changes and Fixes for Bugs
If you are expecting to see major changes in this particular update, you may be a bit disappointed. This update comes to fix some bugs and improve performance in various ways that you can’t notice from the onset. It is rare to see which bugs have been fixed but you will notice more performance stability when using the new Android Auto.
Another reason why this update is essential to users is that it prepares Android Auto for new features in the near future. Developers usually work behind the scenes to make sure the platform is stable enough to handle upcoming features.
New Look for Google Assistant Icon
Some users have spotted a small change in the design. The microphone icon that opens Google Assistant now looks different. It used to have colors, but now it’s just solid white. This may not seem like a big deal, but it shows that Google is getting ready to launch something new—Gemini.
Gemini is Google’s new AI assistant, and it could soon be available in Android Auto. The code in version 14.0 hints that Gemini is being built into the system.
New Features Are Coming Soon
Google is also working on more exciting features that aren’t ready just yet. One feature in development is the ability to play certain Android games on your car’s screen using Android Auto. That update will likely arrive in a future version.
How to Get the Update
Android Auto 14.0 is rolling out now. If you want to check if it’s available for you, just go to the Google Play Store and look for updates. If it’s not there yet, don’t worry—it should reach your device soon.
This update may be small, but it’s another step toward bigger things coming to Android Auto.
