Why users hate the new version of Android Auto
Version 12.6 of the operating system does not present any changes in terms of user experience. Furthermore, it is stable and has not caused any new problems.
In principle, this is positive, but has angered Android Auto users over the uselessness of the update. Many have been criticizing some errors for months, and none have been resolved. These are the most important bugs that the update of the application does not delete:
- Problems with notifications messages.
- Failures in the voice notes from WhatsApp.
- Connection problems on Samsung Galaxy phones.
