- The latest Android Auto Update has broken the Quick Controls feature
- This allows you to see directions or control media when using other apps
- But in Android Auto 15.2 no longer appears to work in vertical orientation
Android Auto has just been updated to version 15.2, and while it would usually mean getting a few shiny new features for your in-car system, this upgrade has brought a very different reaction from many users. In fact, the new edition has broken a popular Android Auto feature that leads to passion and frustration from consumers.
Specifically, complaints have rolled in this Android Auto 15.2 has broken the rapid control function of the operating system. This is a widget that allows you to control media and see directions even when using another app. With Android Auto 15.2, however, the fast control widget no longer seems to be functional when used in a vertical orientation.
Before the latest update, enabling fast checks in Android Auto -Dashboards that were created in this way would place the taskbar on the bottom of the screen. But according to users on Reddit and Google’s official forums, turns on this option in Android Auto 15.2 update simply does nothing. This means that the taskbar is stuck along the vertical edge of your display no matter what you do.
It causes some constitution among users. John Fed on Google -Fora reported that the question “made me crazy” while Reddit user Lorenmatt93 described it as “annoying” and “a bug it has existed in the last few months”.
Bug or function?
Interestingly, it is not clear whether this seemingly error is actually a deliberate change. Quick controls used to be much more prominent in Android Auto, but since Google switched to a dashboard design, the widget has been replaced by an app hand road beam.
Now you need to manually activate quick checks in settings before it appears, which suggests that Google wants to put less emphasis on the feature. It may suggest that Google is simply filling out quick controls, with this latest ‘bug’ a manifestation of this policy.
However, there are indications that this is not the case, such as the fact that the quick control -widget only does not work in specific layouts. With that in mind, the error can only be a supervision where developers simply do not fully test a feature that has fallen down the Android Auto Pecking Order.
Either way, the question has generated its reasonable proportion of irritation among users of quick controls. Hopefully it’s just one of the quirks that can torment software updates and nothing more. With good luck, Google releases a patch within long.
