With the removal of visible apps and after the introduction of driving mode in Google Assistant for those without a car, finding Android Auto settings on the phone was complicated. Do you want to modify them? We teach you how to do it.
Android Auto is a vehicle operating system that is not really installed in cars: its software only reflects what the connected Android mobile sends it. It is therefore on this telephone that we find the greatest number of settings: practically no parameter can be modified from the vehicle console. Knowing where to go to change the order of apps or enable wireless Android Auto is vital.

Android Auto settings
Generally, all Android smartphones that come with Google apps and services include Android Auto among their settings. Of course, the configuration can be more or less accessible: it happens that it appears among the advanced options of the phone, in the network parameters or, even, that it does not come out because the application is missing.
The first thing is make sure you have Android Auto installed and that, in addition, it is kept up to date and at the latest version. This is important: if you don’t update Android Auto frequently, your car won’t be able to connect to your phone. Go to your Google Play and search for Android Auto. If you don’t have it installed, download it, you also need to update it.
