Google has started rolling out Android Auto version 14.3 more widely after a limited release earlier this month. This update doesn’t bring new features, but it focuses on making things work better by fixing bugs and improving performance.

Android Auto 14.3 began showing up for more users through the Google Play Store, especially those using the beta version. If you’re already part of the beta program, you should see the update soon. For others, the rollout is happening gradually, so it might take a few days to appear.

While Google hasn’t provided detailed patch notes for this version, early users say that the update improves the overall experience by making the system more stable. Users haven’t noticed major visual changes, but smoother performance is always welcome, especially during driving.

As usual, Android Auto updates mostly happen in the background. If you want to check which version you have, open Android Auto settings on your phone. You can also join the beta program or install the APK manually if the update hasn’t reached your device yet.

In short, Android Auto 14.3 is all about improving stability and fixing problems that users might have faced in previous versions. It’s part of Google’s regular efforts to make the in-car experience better and safer for everyone.

Android 16 could include an update to make notifications simpler to process. Google is working on a feature called “notification cooldown with action buttons,” which addresses repeated alerts and provides helpful buttons whenever needed.

If you keep getting lots of notifications from the same app, Android usually does not alert you right away. Android 14 and 15 are currently testing the feature known as notification cooldown.

Now with Android 16, Google could go one step more by allowing app developers to add smart actions to each notification. They are helpful because they can respond to your recent usage of the apps or programs.

In some cases, if you get notified while using music, the message will also have an option to immediately handle your music settings. Similarly, a “reply” button may appear quickly or you could get other options useful for whatever is going on in your phone. It allows you to perform tasks you see in the notification without going into the app.

There is no official release yet, yet the code included in Android 16 hints that it is under development. If this solution is used, it may make receiving notifications more useful and less troublesome.

Generally, Android 16 attempts to make receiving notifications easier and more useful with its “magic” actions.

Google has released Android 16 Beta 4.1, just a week after the Beta 4 update. This version focuses on fixing bugs and making the system more stable before the official Android 16 release, which is expected in the coming weeks.

One major issue that’s been fixed is with the “Continue using apps on other devices” feature. This tool lets users continue tasks from one device to another, like moving from a phone to a tablet. In Beta 4, it wasn’t working properly on tablets. That issue is now resolved.

Another fix in Beta 4.1 addresses a problem where some phones couldn’t connect to a cellular network, making calls and mobile data unavailable. That bug is now patched. Additionally, Google has fixed crashes that happened when opening the Wallpaper & Style settings and other small stability issues.

Android 16 is still in the platform stability phase. That means developers can test their apps with confidence that most features are now set and won’t change much. Google is getting closer to the final version, which should arrive by June or July.

The Beta 4.1 update is available for Pixel 6 and newer devices, including the Pixel Tablet and Pixel Fold. Users already in the beta program will get it automatically. If you’re not part of the program, you can sign up through the Android Beta website to try it early.

This small update may not bring new features, but it helps make Android 16 more polished before its full launch.
