TL;DR

• An Android Authority teardown has revealed that Android Auto could get a new autoplay notification.


• This notification lets you permanently turn off autoplaying music when Android Auto connects to your phone.


• The prompt pops up after you’ve manually paused autoplaying music three times.

Android Auto seamlessly connects to your Android phone, allowing you to access your apps, play audio, communicate hands-free, and more on your in-car entertainment system. One nifty Android Auto feature is the ability to automatically play your phone’s audio. This can be disabled via settings, but it looks like Google is also working on an alternative solution.

We dug into a recent version of the Android Auto app (version 16.6.161344) and managed to enable a new autoplay notification. This notification will prompt you to turn off autoplay if you frequently pause automatic audio playback in Android Auto. Check out our screenshots below.
