We’re celebrating: Android Auto has just arrived version 10.0the first number change in its history, a week after version 9.9 became stable.
It seems like yesterday when Google introduced us to Android Auto at Google I/O in 2014, but nine years later the app is changing numbers, first in its beta version. Like always, we tried it looking for news.
New version, same dynamic
Android Auto generates a lot of expectations despite the fact that Google manages to destroy it based on updates that have no visible news
With Android Auto 9.9 we learned a few more new things than we’re used to, with the contact selector in a window (which is always active) and the configuration for electric cars (which is always activated), but in Android Auto 10.0 beta we found nothing new with the naked eye. New things that are still pending, like the Settings overhaul with Material You or the setting to change which app opens on startup, are still pending: they won’t appear just by installing Android Auto 10.0 beta.
It seems that once again Google has missed the opportunity to synchronize the version change with the activation of news and Android Auto 10.0 aims to be one more update, despite the change in numbers. Of course, since this is an early beta release, it’s still possible there will be changes when it’s released as a stable version, probably in a few days.
Undoubtedly, Android Auto 10.0 Beta will include internal fixes and changes, which never hurts given that the system has more failures than we would like. In the official list of known bugs, Google did not mention any recently fixed bugs, although this is common.
If you want try Android Auto 10.0 beta On your own, you have it easy if you are part of the beta program as it will come to you as an update on Google Play. Otherwise, it’s as simple as downloading the Android Auto 10.0 Beta APK from APKMirror.
