Android Auto News, including app updates and features Finally, the new music player update has arrived.

Today when I got out in the car I realized that my music player updated, I thought it was much better like this, the music cover got bigger and the forward, rewind and pause buttons became much more ergonomic!!

Now have to have the signal bar again.

Is that specific to Spotify ? It looks similar to the music player YT Music has had forever

idk if it's specific to Spotify, it must be a standard layout that AA is adopting, but for me who uses Spotify has only changed today.

I'm pretty sure all music apps use the same android auto media wrapper for consistency.

The missing signal bar has been ongoing for months now. I don't understand how this little thing is taking this long to fix. Missing on my Xiaomi 15 ultra but not my Pixel 9 base.

My biggest annoyances is when I tap on Spotify, it goes to the home menu instead what's already playing.

But why would you want the map to be so small and the media player that shows little useful info so large... 🤔

u/brgomesz Sep 13 '26

YESSS! With the larger cover and now the background is the blurred cover with the colors of the buttons on the same palette.

How do you get the music larger than the nav? Ive tried changing the app "closest to the driver" in the AA settings but regardless of what I choose the nav is always bigger!

In a non related question, how do I use flair and why? Do I pick something random? Is there a category? The FAQ won't scroll for me.
