Their methods include the force publication of Android Auto update by Google.
Android Auto explained that if you are an active user of Android Auto and still using an Android smartphone with version 8 or lower, then it is time to level up. In fact, Google has made its decision regarding Android Auto, the application for driving for Android users, to set a stop for android phones with Android 8 or older version.
Google’s new requirements
First, it was as though Google is again willing to let the Android 8 users tap into its service. But it is clear that this year the company seems eager to meet those new minimums. For now, when you open Android Auto with a phone with Android 8, you will see a message that says “This phone no longer supports Android Auto.”
What remedies for the Android 8 mobile phone users?
Of course, this notification can be avoided and Android Auto can be used by downgrading the app and settings necessary update checks to ‘manual’. However, this is short term as Google will change and only allow access to the new version of Android Auto at some point in the future.
Google initially moved Android Auto’s system Requirement from Android 6 to 8 in July 2022, further stepping up it to Android 9 last summer. Due to your currently using Android 8, we suggest you upgrade to one of the best Android phones like; Samsung Galaxy s24 or Google pixel 9. If you want an affordable but powerful camera phone, the Google Pixel 8a may well be the best phone for under $500.
