You never stop updating the UI. Some find it a way to “freshen up” an application, others find it a nuisance that gives no reference points. The update that Google is implementing, whether it convinces or not, is the one that brings a new design for the user interface of its assistant are Android Auto. And first impressions on the web, meanwhile, point out how this new interface is very reminiscent of the graphic aspect of Apple’s Siri. What’s new?
The new feature brought by Google is particularly interesting for owners of Galaxy smartphones who use Android Auto in their vehicles. Why? The gem that was observed on a device from the Korean company shows a new animation by Google Assistant.
As reported by 9to5Googlethe new detail appears when Google Assistant is waiting for a response from the user. The interface, therefore, presents itself as a circle that stands out on the screen just above the bottom bar of Android Auto. The circle, therefore, is visible during voice interaction and disappears once the request has been processed.
The change made by Google comes alongside the existing multi-colored animation on the bottom bar of Android Auto. Renewed layout for the management application for various vehicles of various brands was immortalized, in particular, on a Galaxy Z Fold 6 with Android Auto version 12.5. Users who use this version and who run One UI 6.1 or 6.1.1, meanwhile, could already get the new Google Assistant interface.
In recent years, Samsung has made a great contribution to Google in improving the user experience on the use of Android Auto. Among the innovations introduced, it is also worth mentioning the integration of the “SmartThings” app, which allows you to manage the smart home devices (in fact those who maintain a “connection” with their apartment) directly from the car when a Samsung phone is connected to the infotainment unit with Android Auto.
Among the upcoming future features, Android Auto will use artificial intelligence to automatically summarize the messages received on the phone. This is a system that aims to reduce distractions while driving. A few months ago, a function was introduced that allows electric vehicles to share real-time battery information with Google Maps, which is also useful for calculating the remaining charge upon arrival at the destination.
