The Weird Case of Text Messaging Disabled on Android Auto – autoevolution

There are many things that need to be improved in Android Auto, and after the most recent updates, Google can add another one to the list.

According to a.
conversation on the official Android Auto assistance forums, text messaging apps went missing after a new software version was set up, and today, no workaround appears to exist.
While I previously encountered isolated reports in this regard, Google responded in the connected thread that its checking out the problem, with the business then requesting for more feedback in order to figure out whats going on. Strangely enough, the thread has then been locked, without any other users allowed to publish.
The topic starter describes that after a current upgrade, receiving text messages on Android Auto is no longer possible, no matter if theyre utilizing Google or Samsung messaging apps.
” I have a 2020 Chevrolet Bolt. When I first purchased the car Android messages worked simply great. After a current update of Android Auto or Android messages, I cant keep in mind which I no longer have the alternative to send out or receive texts from Android Auto. I switched to Samsung messages and still I get no option to send or get messages from Android Auto,” the user explains.
In most cases, apps no longer being shown on the home screen is brought on by a bad configuration that can be quickly repaired by selecting what items you wish to see on Android Auto. This choice is offered under the Android Auto settings screen.
The original poster declares that someone else with a Galaxy Note 9 was able to receive messages on Android Auto regardless of the icon for the messaging app still missing out on from the screen.
Needless to state, clearing the cache and eliminating the data of Android Auto and the messaging apps are workarounds that do not make any difference. At this moment, its still not clear if Google is dealing with a repair or not provided the thread has actually currently been locked.
