If you want to know how to update Android Auto to the latest version, in this article we will show you the steps you need to follow in brief and detail. You only need Google Play to do this.
Android Auto is a must-have app if you use your car frequently as it makes for a more enjoyable ride. Although Android Auto updates usually install themselves in the background, you can also install them yourself, and we’ll explain how below.
Steps to update Android Auto to the latest version
The Android Auto app comes by default on many Android phones. However, if it is out of date, your car system will ask you to install the latest update. In this case, you should do the following:
Open Google Play and search for the Android Auto app. If there is an update, an update button will appear that you need to press to update the app.The last thing is to wait for the update to download and install.
If you want all Android Auto updates to be downloaded automatically, on the Android Auto tab in the Play Store, press the three buttons on the top right and check the “Enable Automatic Updates” option.
Enable auto-update in Google Play Store to update itself
Another option you can use is to set Google Play to automatically download updates for all apps, including Android Auto. If you do not know how to do this now, we will explain how to do it:
Open Google Play and click on the profile picture you see on the top right, “Settings” and then you must enter “Network Preferences” to make it “Only WiFi” option. This way you save your mobile data.
Update to beta version
If the update you downloaded from the Google Play Store isn’t what you’re looking for, you’re probably looking to install the beta version of Android Auto. You have two options to do this:
Sign up for the Android Auto beta program at this link. When you do, you’ll need to go back to Google Play and install a new update (beta) for Android AutoBeta APK from APKMirror. Then simply tap on the APK and press Install. This method is suitable if there are no more places on Google Play to join the beta program.
You can easily install the latest Android Auto in either of these two methods. Of course, keep in mind that beta versions often contain unexpected bugs.
