A recent Android 16 update has sparked a wave of frustration among Android Auto users. While Android Auto updates can occasionally cause connection glitches, this particular issue seems to be linked to the system upgrade itself. Over the past few weeks, a growing number of Android Auto users, primarily Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy owners, have reported connection problems after updating to Android 16.
The issue manifests as Android Auto disconnecting from the car's display after a short period of connectivity or failing to connect altogether. Some users claim that subsequent updates temporarily resolved the problem, only for it to resurface later. However, the issue doesn't appear to be widespread, with only a few reports directly attributing it to Android 16.
Android Auto connection errors are a common occurrence, but it's challenging to determine how many are directly related to the Android 16 update.
