Google is more widely rolling out its Android Auto 14.1 update just as a newer version enters the beta program.
Android Auto 14.1 debuted in beta in March right as Google started rolling out support for games on the platform, though the two aren’t connected as we initially thought might be the case. As such, Android Auto 14.1 in itself isn’t all that exciting of a release, but it’s now rolling out more widely to users.
Google first released v14.1 to the stable track early this month, and it’s now rolling out more broadly as is the typical pattern for Android Auto updates. The rollout will still take a few weeks in total, but you can check the Play Store now and you’ll likely get this latest update.
As mentioned, there’s nothing particularly new this time around, but the update might end up fixing some of the niche bugs that are floating around with the platform. If you’ve been having trouble as of late, definitely try updating to see if that fixes anything, and let us know your experience in the comments below.
Behind the scenes, there’s a lot on the way. This includes the arrival of Gemini, as well as new temperature and defrost controls which were first spotted in recent releases. These features aren’t live, though, so it’s hard to say when they might launch.
Android Auto 14.1 is now rolling out via the Play Store.
