Driving is more fun when you have good music playing, but recently some Android Auto users can’t fully relate to this. Following the Android 14 update, some users of the Android Auto service on their vehicles have had a hard time accessing their music streaming apps. Aside from navigation, music streaming is one feature that users of the app benefit from during their daily commute.
Users of the app that are facing this issue report that it all started after they updated to Android 14. After the update, linking their smartphone to their vehicle’s infotainment system didn’t pull up music streaming. They explain that their music streaming apps accessible on their vehicle via Android Auto have randomly gone silent.
Now this isn’t an issue that is affecting just one music streaming app but a host of apps. Most of the apps that users report that are facing this issue are commonly used among drivers. Various car models are also facing this issue, so it isn’t something that just one car model is facing.
