A new Android Auto 8.6 beta update is available. Download below…
Google is committed to improving the experience of Android Auto users, which has seen the tech company bring some interesting changes in the past few weeks. However, some of these changes are currently under beta testing, but Google is allowing more users after opening the beta program. Perhaps, the reason for the Android Auto 8.6 beta release is to allow more users to test the new UI before the public release.
First seen a couple of weeks ago, after being teased last year, the Coolwalk feature is undoubtedly a great leap forward. The latest design allows having more apps on the screen running simultaneously. For instance, you can have Google Maps and Spotify and still see your important notifications.
Interestingly, the new UI can adapt to any resolution, which has been demonstrated with different Car head units. However, it can only work on smartphones running Android Auto 8.5 or later on Android 8+.
Android Auto 8.6 beta changelog
- Improved Do Not Disturb functionality.
- Dark mode on the car UI is now independent of the phone.
- Bug fixes and other Improvements.
