We start the week with a new version of Android Auto: Android Auto 13.1It’s the first update since the arrival of Android Auto 13.0 a few weeks ago.

Google surprised us once again skip the beta Launch of Android Auto and direct release of Android Auto 13.1 as the final version for all users. We tested it to find new features.

Android Auto 13.1 is here

Now you can update directly to Android Auto 13.1regardless of whether you are part of the app’s beta program or not. In fact, there wasn’t even a beta version of Android Auto 13.1 released this time, instead Google chose to launch it directly as the final version.

AND What’s changing in Android Auto 13.1? Google is officially telling us the same story as always; Inside you will find “bug fixes and other improvements”. The list of known bugs that Google keeps has remained the same since the end of September; so we don’t know exactly what kind of bugs and improvements are in it, and four known Android Auto bugs are still marked as “in progress”: black screen on POCO X6 Pro with notifications not working, silent WhatsApp messages in wireless Android Auto on Samsung phones, and disconnections .

As always, I rummaged through Android Auto 13.1 in search of new features and I couldn’t see any difference compared to the previous version. I didn’t see any changes to Android Auto in the car or to the mobile phone’s settings. Also in mainstream apps like Google Maps.

But changes They usually come from within We will have to wait to discover the full potential of Android Auto 13.1 as they can be activated remotely in a few days.

Android Auto 13.1 is already distributed through Google Play, so it is possible that it is already updated on your mobile phone. The new version is version 13.1.6442 and These are the update steps:
