It has only been a few weeks since the latest Android Auto stable update rolled out, and a new beta build is already available. These updates are released to address issues reported by users, but it is hard to say the bugs that have been fixed since they do not come with a changelog.
It is normal to see a new Android Auto update without a changelog, as Google has been doing that for ages. The latest Android Auto 12.6 beta build is not different. It is exclusive to beta testers and does not seem to include any changes. However, these updates are necessary as they improve performance and resolve issues.
Google keeps working on new additions, with the integration of radio on the app now the main focus. The tech giant is working on a few options to make it easy for Android Auto users to listen to Radio without exiting the app’s UI. We understand the development is still in the early days, but we expect those on the beta program to receive it first.
While waiting for new additions, we recommend installing the latest release. Although it is exclusive to beta testers, you can side-load the APK on your device. However, there might be issues with the app, which is the reason it is not rolling out for everyone. Of course, you can uninstall the update if there are serious bugs.
