Android Auto, Google's operating system platform for the car, has been adding features over the past few months. Google presented a very important update, where it changed the design of the interface and added much more intuitive options, which would allow us to quickly interact with our car's screen and thus avoid distractions. For example, a shortcut to music playback was added to the bottom bar. As well as different functions for navigation. Android Auto now receives a new version.These are the new features.
The function can be really useful for those drivers who do not want any kind of distraction behind the wheel. For example, the sound of notifications and warnings. Until now, Android Auto warned of notifications through a sound tone, and this function could not be deactivated, unless we disconnected the terminal. The new version implements an option that allows us to activate a silent mode for notifications, and thus prevent it from playing a sound when a new message arrives, or even a call.
Mute the sound, yes, but…
Unfortunately, this option only disables the notification sound. In other words, the alerts we receive will continue to appear on the screen. In most cases the notification remains on the screen until you delete it manually, according to some reports users on Reddit.
This feature is available via an app update. Therefore, if you want to have this novelty in your car, you will need to download the latest version on Google Play. You can also do it on Android Auto APK Mirror. To turn off the sound of notifications, you must go to the Android Auto settings and activate the option to silence notifications. Don't worry if you don't have this option yet, the rollout is happening gradually so it could take a few days or even weeks to reach your device.
