Android Auto updates and makes a mess with Google Assistant once again
Android Auto has recently received the major eleventh version, which has brought several new features for the infotainment system, including a newly designed Google Assistant, some new features for Google Maps, and many more. But just after the next update, there is a new issue spotted with the Google Assistant application.
According to some users, they are getting an error message with the phrase “oops, something went wrong” whenever they come to give any voice command. As the Google Assistant voice command plays a crucial role in interaction with the several features of Android Auto, it is getting pretty annoying to users.
In addition, some reports even claim that the Google Assistant shows the error message “Oops, something went wrong.” before giving any voice command, after the issues
However, there is no confirmation available about where the issue actually arrived; it seems like it is affiliated with Android Auto 11.1 or that it can also be arrived with the latest Google app update. It is worth nothing that the issue was spotted at the end of January. Some limited users are facing the issue.
Google hasn’t taken any action on this issue yet, so we have to wait for the official response of the company. It will decide whether the issue will be resolved through a software update or if it can be addressed directly from the server side.
To get rid of this issue, users can use traditional techniques like looking for the new update for Android Auto, or they can also rollback to the previous version. If you want to install the previous version, you can check it out at this link.
Google’s Gemini AI adds a new convenient and awaited functionality to the Gmail app for Android: the ability to summarize emails.
The previous reports have already revealed that the Gmail app for Android devices is going to have the ability to summarize emails using Google’s Gemini AI. Now, recent reports are revealing that this feature is close to launch.
A colleague Android Authority contributor and reliable cose sleuth Assemble Debug managed to activate the feature on version 2024.04.21.626860299 of the Gmail app. Google has not yet widely rolled out the feature, but we expect it to happen soon.
Expectations are that Google will formally announce the feature at the upcoming I/O 2024 event, along with many other announcements about the upcoming iteration, including the launch of the Pixel 8a.
Once the brand officially rolls out this feature, you will see a “Summarize this email” button under the subject line of their emails. If you hit the button, it will generate a quick summary of the email. This feature should be especially convenient for lengthy emails with lots of text and other details.
You will also have the power to rate the quality of the summary by tapping the thumbs-up and thumbs-down buttons under the summarized text. Probably, this will help Google improve Gemini’s summarizing capabilities. It will also offer a button to copy the summary to the clipboard.

However, since the company introduced the transcribe ability for users with the One UI 6.1, it is possible that the company will improve this ability with this update.
But one thing is certain: if you are experiencing any issues while using any of the features, you should upgrade to the most recent version. To do that, you just need to go to the Galaxy Store and search for the voice recorder. Users can also sidelog the latest version of the application from external sources.
