Google has recently introduced Android Auto 11.8 stable updates, but with the update, it doesn’t reveal any information about the newly arrived features or improvements for the application. But with the latest development, there are some reports about the information that the interface has been redesigned for the settings.
According to the information, Google plans to introduce a new settings menu design as the default with the latest version. Previously, Android Auto users had the option to see at the top of the settings menu how the car was connected. In it, the user could observe a section for customizing the launcher, “Hey Google ” detection, a Google Assistant option, forecasts, some specific system options, and various details relating to the safety and legal area.
Now, moving firmware companies have brought software that adopts the latest Material You guidelines. In this way, the colors change depending on the ones chosen by users, and dark mode is supported. These elements represent great news for Android Auto.
However, it’s important to point out that the settings menu itself hasn’t actually changed much, but with minimal change, it has created a new perspective on the settings. First, the graphic at the top of the page has been removed and replaced with the “connect a car” button. Along with this, various sections relating to the start, display, assistant, maps, messages, and much more have also been introduced.
The Samsung Music App is getting a new update that permits quick launch with the Galaxy Buds tap-and-hold gesture smoothly.
A plethora of wireless wearable earbuds are available, but somehow Samsung’s Galaxy Buds are leading the market with their high-end features and functionalities without any limitations. To enhance the users’ audio experience, the giant rolled out a new update for the Samsung Music app, but this update is hinting at what’s been missing.
Samsung Galaxy Buds allow users to control music playback with taps, which they can then customize in the Samsung Music application, which is available on both the Galaxy Store and Google Play Store. The giant has designed the Galaxy Buds with the support of tap-and-hold gestures for less frequent actions such as launching applications or activating voice assistants similar to Bixby or Google Assistant.
The reports say that this update permits you to quickly launch the application using the tap-and-hold gesture on Galaxy Series earbuds. However, the updated Samsung Music application does not have its own streaming service, but interested parties can link their Spotify accounts to it. To quickly launch the Music application, this asks you to open the Galaxy Wearable app on the device your earbuds are paired to.
Then, authorize touch controls, touch and hold, and assign either earbud to launch Samsung Music when the gesture is detected. Integration between the Samsung Music app and the company’s connected earbuds should have been the default behavior from the factory.
