The celebration of Android Auto 10.0 has been short-lived. Less than a week ago the version was released for everyone and it has already been renewed with a new version: Android Auto 10.1 beta.
As always, we have tested Android Auto 10.1 beta in search of new features and although we usually do not find them, this time we have good news: We have seen several changes.
At least two fewer errors and one novelty
Two weeks after the previous beta, Android Auto 10.0 beta, those who are part of the app’s beta program have a new update waiting for them in the Google app store: Android Auto 10.1 beta.
Let’s start with the good news: finally that Google Maps will stay open when exiting Android Auto It turned out to be a bug and is fixed in this version. That is to say, if you disconnect the mobile from the car with a route in progress, the route ends and you will not see a notification from Google Maps on your mobile.
A notification goes away on our mobile and we get a new Android Auto: a notification that reminds us if we are avoiding tolls, highways or ferries on the route. By tapping on it, we can easily readjust the route options, saving ourselves some extra clicking.
On the other hand, Google has removed from the list of known Android Auto bugs the element “cannot be send telegram messages“, which usually means that the error has been fixed, either by the Android Auto team, the Google Assistant team or the Telegram team.
If you want to try Android Auto 10.1 beta on your phone, you will be automatically updated if you are part of the beta program. If not, you can Download Android Auto 10.1 APK from APKMirror.
