Google confirms shutting down Android Auto for Phone screens.

Google has confirmed it’s shutting down the standalone “Android Auto for Phone Screens” app with Android 12.

Google releases a developer preview for the next version of Android, Android 12, for Pixel devices yesterday. As is the norm for Google, the very first previews of Android are full of a lot of developer-facing changes.

 

Google has confirmed it’s shutting down the standalone “Android Auto for Phone Screens” app with Android 12. Instead, anyone who wants a driving-friendly interface for their Android phone should use the Google Assistant driving mode, which is available within Google Maps, or the native Android Auto interface available in select cars.

 

“For those who use the on phone experience (Android Auto mobile app), they will be transitioned to Google Assistant driving mode,” Google said in a statement. “Starting with Android 12, Google Assistant driving mode will be the built-in mobile driving experience. We have no further details to share at this time.” Google says that the experience isn’t changing for anyone using Android Auto in compatible cars.

 

Google’s confirmation came after XDA Developers reported that some users were seeing a message in the Android Auto for Phone Screens app that said the service is “now only available for car screens” and pointed phone users towards Google Assistant driving mode as a replacement. Meanwhile, 9to5Google reports that the Android Auto for Phone Screens app now says it’s incompatible with Pixel devices running Android 12.

 

Android Auto’s app history is a little bit messy, but this is a move that’s been a long time coming. The saga started in 2019, when Google decided to build most of Android Auto’s features into Android 10 as a system level feature, and discontinue the previously downloadable app. That’s fine for anyone with an Android Auto-compatible car, but anyone with an older vehicle would have lost access to the driving-friendly interface available directly on their phone. Bad times.

 

Google’s plan for these users was a new Google Assistant driving mode, but this software was delayed, and despite being announced in 2019, it only started rolling out late last year (it’s subsequently expanded internationally). That meant Google effectively needed a stopgap measure, and the clunkily named Android Auto for Phone Screens app was born.

3 must have Cryptocurrencies in the Crypto space Heading 2 Traders are looking at three altcoins that will mirror the recent rise of Solana. The token, Solana (SOL) is now the sixth-ranked cryptocurrency, according to FTX exchange data. Its trading price is up nearly 600% from its July low of $23.47, where it was trading at $175. After SOL’s breakout to a new all-time high, crypto trader, Micheal van de Poppe has shifted his focus to decentralized blockchain platforms Tezos (XTZ), Polkadot (DOT), and Cosmos (ATOM). Essentially, Tezos relies on smart contracts in a way that’s similar to Ethereum. In the end, Tezos has a big advantage: an advanced platform that can improve and evolve over time, with no danger of hard forking. Holders of XTZ have the ability to vote on proposed protocol upgrades put forward by Tezos developers. At the time of writing Tezos traded at $6.16 with a daily trading volume of $943 million. Polkadot is a multichain sharding protocol that facilitates the transfer of almost any data type, not just tokens. This allows multiple blockchains to interact, thereby improving interoperability. Interoperability would enable the creation of a private and transparent web that is completely decentralized and controlled by its users. Through the Polkadot relay chain, this protocol connects public and private blockchains, permissioned networks, oracles and future technologies, allowing these blockchains to securely share information and transactions. Michael van de Poppe told his 123,000 YouTube subscribers that Cosmos (ATOM) looks ready to run based on its underlying market structure. It’s either Tezos, Polkadot, or Cosmos as a layer-one solution to follow Solana, given its incredible structure. “As for the future outlook for ATOM, Van de Poppe notes two significant price levels. It has retested off of the ($17.47) level, and I think we’re going to break the highs soon and then the next target zone for Cosmos is $47 and $72,” Poppe added.
