Google has officially ended support for Android Auto on phones running Android 8, which means users will now need to upgrade to a device running Android 9 or above to access the service.
The transition emphasizes how Android Auto has evolved from a standalone app to an integrated part of the Android operating system, aligning its features to modern user expectations and functionalities.
The frustration for users still on Android 8 is palpable, as about 5% of all Android phones are still running this version, signaling a significant portion of the user base that might be affected by this change.
With Android Auto continuing to develop and implement new features, older versions of the Android OS may simply not be able to support this evolution effectively, pushing users toward necessary upgrades.
