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.

The Gemini Nano AI technology built by Google is now being used by more developers and included in more Android apps. Gemini Nano is a scaled-down Gemini AI, built for Android phones and capable of working locally without accessing the cloud. It is possible for apps to read you an article or generate content even when you do not have a connection.

Before this, Gemini Nano was only found on the Pixel 8 Pro and Galaxy S24 phones. Starting with Android 15, more phones will be able to run it. Through the AICore system built into Android, developers can build with this new solution. As a result, apps are able to take advantage of AI capabilities on the device more effectively and safely.

To make it easier for developers, Google is adding Gemini Nano support to their ML Kit, which allows them to add AI to their Android applications. With the use of Gemini Nano, it will soon be possible for developers to include features such as automatic smart replies and quick summaries in their chat apps.

Android Studio now includes a brand-new GenAI extension. Developers can use this to test the Gemini Nano before adding it to their applications. They can test Gemini Nano with various inputs and check that it delivers the correct results. It helps in finding any issues that could arise in the AI model.

Overall, it proves that Google is working hard to integrate more advanced AI on smartphones. With better usability and more phone support, Google is now making it easier for developers to make smarter apps.
