He who has Android Auto has a treasure. Or it’s not always like that mistakes and errors They also affect our vehicle’s infotainment system. Although the most common ones have an easy solution, they are not without problems. And now a new one has appeared that affects a large number of users.

Even not restarting Android Auto from scratch will not solve the problem: this is a failure to read incoming messages on the mobile phone. Android Auto adds a word to the end of these notifications for no reason. We tell you what happens with this strange error.

Android Aut-oh faces annoying bug

Android Auto is the perfect complement for our mobile phone, it performs a task that is actually not so simple: we do not touch the smartphone screen and control its functions with our voice.

This is made even better with vehicle controls that allow you to activate voice recognition and then get a response from Google Assistant. We can read and receive messages from messaging applications. It is exactly this action that gets the error very unexpected.

A very strange bug complicates matters, as we read on 9to5Google read text message notificationsThere are users reporting this in communities like Reddit.

For a few weeks now, if I have Android Auto read a message while I’m in the car, an unnecessary oh is added to the end of the message. For example: «My wife says: Can you buy milk on the way home? uh… Do you want to answer?

The common denominator and error is: “oh” appearing at the endand Android Auto reads it out loud. And the affected apps seem to go beyond WhatsApp: They’ve identified this strange behavior with Teams, Facebook, and even Google Messages.

There are quite a few users interfering with the Reddit post, which suggests it’s pretty common. Yes really We don’t yet know what causes this.. Did it touch anything in Google assistant voices?

This is what specialized media are pointing out, although no one has commented on the Android Auto support forums yet. We haven’t seen it in action yet in Xataka Android, so we don’t know what it looks like.

Although it’s a bit of an annoying bug, it is harmless. In case you suffer from this, you have the alternative of waiting for your target to read the messages completely clearly or ignoring the “oh” at the end. Fortunately, it has almost no functional impact; It can be strange if it happens suddenly and unknowingly.
