Android Auto Users Face Connection Woes After Android 16 Update
The widespread rollout of Samsung's Android 16 update has sparked a new concern among Android Auto users. As more devices are updated, a growing number of users are reporting connection issues with their Android Auto systems.
While Android Auto updates occasionally cause connectivity problems, the recent update to Android 16 seems to be the culprit behind the latest wave of connection troubles. Over the past few weeks, numerous Android Auto users have taken to Google's forums to report slow or failed connections to their phones after updating to Android 16.
The affected users are primarily on Google Pixel or Samsung Galaxy devices that received the Android 16 update. The issue often manifests as Android Auto disconnecting from the car's display after a while or failing to connect at all.
Some users claim that new updates temporarily resolved the problem, only to have it reappear later. However, the issue doesn't appear to be widespread, with only a small number of reports linking it to Android 16. There are constant reports of Android Auto connection errors, but it's challenging to determine how many are directly caused by the Android 16 update.
