Google’s Android Auto Platform is constantly evolving, adding new features and changing others. For some users, a new practical option seems to have been made available with the possibility of pressing a button easily available to leave the infotainment system of your car.
For a long time, Android Auto has presented a button in the application drawer that allows users to jump quickly in the native software of their car. This option is practical to leave the system if your car does not have its own shortcut for this, but it is not the fastest option either – something that is important when you are driving.
Some users have recently noticed that Android Auto displays a new button to get out of the native system in the area of the screen next to the time and signal / battery status icons. This new shortcut allows users to quickly return to the native software of their car with a single blow. It is very practical to reach radio controls, car settings and other features you may need to access along the way.
This option seems not to be widely deployed or appear only on certain vehicles.
Users on Reddit Say that the button works well, with reports that appear in Several Toyota vehicles that lacking in a native way To return to the car infodivement system while Android Auto is active. A user says he saw the button appear on A Hyundai vehicle “A month ago” before he disappeared. A Lexus pilot Also spotted The button of their vehicle too.
While many cars have either a physical button or a touch screen button to easily access the car’s home screen, this option in Android Auto makes it much easier for users without this option.
