Google has updated the minimum requirements for Android Auto, mandating devices to run at least Android 11 starting November 2026. This change primarily impacts older smartphones using Android 9 or 10, which may gradually lose access to navigation, music, and calls through Android Auto. Although some devices may still run the latest version of Android Auto, they no longer meet official compatibility standards. Users are advised to check their Android version and seek updates from manufacturers. The shift aligns with Google's ongoing enhancements to the platform, introducing more complex features and AI tools, such as the Gemini assistant. This decision may frustrate users with older devices that still function well.
